Increse in situations

Dear folks,

Please give me tips for the correct understanding

of the following phrase:

As more U.S. forces deploy closer to the front lines in Iraq, Syria

and elsewhere, there is likely to be an increase in situations requiring

strikes that would protect American troops.

[source: www.msn.com (...unknown)]

Does it mean "the number of situations is likely to increase"

or "situations are likely to tense"?

Regards,

Ray
