The police have started an investigation due to nighttime fireworks launches in Nova Kuznechikha.

      On August 26, 2026, at 17:27 Society The police organized a check after reports of fireworks and firecrackers being launched at night in Novaya Kuznechikha. This was reported to NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Nizhny Novgorod region. No statements from local residents have been received by the police regarding this fact. Law enforcement is verifying the information that appeared in the media. Earlier, residents of the microdistrict published videos on social networks. According to eyewitnesses, the noise at night lasted quite a long time, and many were frightened. It is worth noting that residents of the Priokskiy and Sovetskiy districts complained about loud bangs late in the evening on August 8 and 11. The loud sounds, as it turned out, were coming from the "Zenit" residential complex—there they decided to launch fireworks. The police received three reports. A few days later, law enforcement established that the pyrotechnics were being launched at night by a 33-year-old unemployed and previously unconvicted resident of "Zenit."
