Over 72 hours, Poltava likely remains on the strike list but may see slightly fewer direct attacks as Russia cycles targets. Nonetheless, infrastructure repair teams and energy assets will continue to face elevated threat from follow-on precision strikes.

## Drivers

- Russian pattern of revisiting previously hit energy sites after repairs begin
- Ongoing regional missile and drone capabilities within range of Poltava

## Indicators

- Visible repair operations at recently struck facilities drawing renewed ISR attention
- Increased UAV reconnaissance activity over industrial and power sites
