## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Ukrainian authorities will expand mandatory and voluntary evacuation orders in high-risk frontline areas such as Nikopol, Marhanets, and sectors near Pokrovsk due to renewed Russian strikes and positional battles. Civilian movements will strain local reception capacities in relatively safer urban centers, increasing demand for shelter, healthcare, and psychosocial support. Humanitarian organizations will have to adjust logistics under continued airstrike and drone-threat conditions. Casualty numbers among civilians will likely rise modestly as bombardments intensify.

## Drivers

- Recent mandatory evacuation orders in Nikopol district
- Reports of positional battles on the Pokrovsk front and FAB-3000 strikes
- Theater assessments highlighting post-ceasefire escalation in Ukraine
