Residents in the Russian region of Penza have expressed concerns regarding local authorities' plans for a mass burial of citizens, in a video that has been widely viewed on social media.
The clip of a group of people from the city of Zarechny, about 400 miles southeast of Moscow, came amid Russian claims that Kyiv is targeting Russian territory. There are concerns that the war in Ukraine could spill over onto the territory of the aggressor, as well as at the growing casualty numbers of Russian troops.
In the video, a man says that he had seen a drone that had come from the Saratov region located to the south of Penza oblast. A woman then describes how the local administration has not provided any information "about where children would be taken if there was bombing."

..."The decree was reported by other local media, including the website Our City Penza. It reported that a similar resolution had been adopted in September by the administration of Penza which looked at how to arrange mass graves that can fit up to 100 people.
An article published on the site outlined a policy for the "urgent burial of corpses in wartime" and named cemeteries in villages across the oblast, which could accommodate 20,700 places.
It said that forensic examiners would determine the cause of death and issue death certificates in a process also involving Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Newsweek has emailed the city administration of Zarechny for comment."
