Worth checking under the rim tape.

This is down to commuting through not so great parks. Gator skins certainly helped, but this year I’m going for the nuclear option and fitting Weldtite Sureride Anti-Puncture Tape. It a thick plastic band that goes between the tyre and the inner tube, heavy but super tough.
