to all who say to go to the shop to have it fixed, do you mean you will walk to the nearest tyre fixing shop with a wheel under your arm and back? What if it's 97 miles away? Lol. Btw tyre shops hate tyres fixed with the gunky stuff because it makes a right mess inside the tyre but try setting the gung on fire if you can, won't work with the one I got here.

Yep, has happened to me many times. Most people who drive have it happen a few dozen times in life *LOL*
Easiest way to have it fixed is to take it to a tire store and have them repair it. Easy. They put a patch inside the tire. Quick and inexpensive.

By puncture if you mean a tire, yeah I've had a few. The best place to have it repaired is at a tire store. Discount tires here in Texas repairs them for free if you purchased the tires from them. Some others do also and some charge whether or not you purchased from them. I see some people like fix -a-fat. The tire stores don't as a lot of that stuff uses a flammable propellant in the can. The blooming tire can explode when they try to remove it to install a new tire. Dangerous stuff.

I've got one that nobody will believe. Two wks. ago my car sat in the drive way with a flat right front tire. The freeking tires were four days old. I removed the tire and with needle nose pliars I thought I'd dug out a two inch long tooth.
At the tire shop the guy looked at my tooth and laughed. He said it was a deer horn. He plugged the tire with a regular tubless tire plug and loaded it back up with 44 lbs. of nitrogen.

If it's the tire sidewall, you need a new tire. If right on the tread area, they can usually just put a plug in it. They did it with mine while still on the car...pulled out a nail and stuck in the plug.

I have tire plugs in the car's tool box and a compressor.
Every job site is a potential flat tire (or 2 ...).
