other

Penza is a city in Russia that experienced multiple temporary restrictions on civil aviation operations at its local airport in August 2024 due to safety concerns, with Rosaviation citing the need to ensure flight safety. The disruptions were linked to reported drone threats, including an alleged attack by Ukrainian forces on a Wildberries logistics center in the city, which resulted in a fire and subsequent investigations by the Investigative Committee. The city also faced fuel shortages and public attention due to a reported 'gas station quest' on a regional route.
