 A fire at a nightclub in North Macedonia has resulted in the deaths of 51 individuals and injuries to more than 100 others.


Fifty-one individuals lost their lives, and over 100 sustained injuries when a fire erupted in a nightclub in the North Macedonian town of Kocani early Sunday morning, as reported by Interior Minister Pance Toskovski.


The fire was ignited by "pyrotechnic devices" utilized during a concert, according to Toskovski.


"Sparks ignited the fire, which rapidly spread throughout the discotheque," he explained.


A video from the event, authenticated by Reuters, depicts a band performing on stage, accompanied by two flares emitting white sparks into the air. The sparks ignited the ceiling above the band, prompting them to retreat as the footage ends.


Local television footage revealed firefighters extinguishing the charred and smoldering entrance of the nightclub, known as 'Pulse.'


North Macedonia’s MRT public broadcaster indicated that 27 individuals were admitted to Skopje City Hospital with serious burns, while another 23 were receiving treatment at the Clinical Center. The report noted that some of the injured were minors.


The fire broke out at 3 a.m. in Kocani.


Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski expressed his condolences in a Facebook post, stating, "This is a challenging and profoundly sorrowful day for Macedonia! The loss of so many young lives is irreparable, and the anguish of the families, loved ones, and friends is immeasurable."


He urged all relevant institutions, including health services and authorities, to take immediate action to assist the injured and support the affected families.

Zelenskyy in Saudi Arabia as U.S. voices hope for Ukraine peace talks

  Zelenskyy in Saudi Arabia as U.S. voices hope for Ukraine peace talks President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in Saudi Arabia on Monday to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a day before talks between Ukrainian and U.S. officials that Washington hopes will deliver substantial progress towards ending Ukraine's war with Russia. The United States, once Ukraine's main ally, has upended its policy on the conflict in its stated pursuit of a rapid end to the fighting, engaging directly with Moscow while stopping military assistance and intelligence sharing for Ukraine, which Russian troops invaded at scale in 2022. Grappling with the new approach in the White House, Ukraine has pushed for "pragmatic" relations after a disastrous Oval Office encounter between Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump descended into acrimony last month. Zelenskyy is expected later on Monday to meet the Saudi crown prince, whose country has played a mediating role since Russia's invasion, i...

  Aftershocks rattle Mandalay as rescuers search for survivors in Myanmar quake Residents scrambled desperately through collapsed buildings Sunday searching for survivors as aftershocks rattled the devastated city of Mandalay, two days after a massive earthquake killed more than 1,600 people in Myanmar and at least 11 in neighbouring Thailand. The initial 7.7-magnitude quake struck near the central Myanmar city of Mandalay early Friday afternoon, followed minutes later by a 6.7-magnitude aftershock. The tremors collapsed buildings, downed bridges and buckled roads, with mass destruction seen in the city of more than 1.7 million people. As dawn broke Sunday, tea shop owner Win Lwin picked his way through the remains of a collapsed restaurant on a main road in his neighbourhood, tossing bricks aside one by one. "About seven people died here" when the quake struck Friday, he told AFP. "I'm looking for more bodies but I know there cannot be any survivors. "We don...

  South Korea hopes to use break in weather to contain deadly wildfires Light rain offered some relief to South Korean authorities tackling the country's worst wildfires on record, with exhausted firefighters making another push on Friday to contain blazes stretching 70 km. At least 28 people have died and more than 45,000 hectares of largely forest land in the country's southeast have been charred or are burning, as strong winds have driven blazes from central Uiseong county to coastal regions over the past week. "Conditions are very good, and we have a chance, so we're deploying all available resources to try to contain the main fires today," Korea Forest Service Minister Lim Sang-seop told a media briefing. Uiseong reported fires had been put out in 95% of the area as of early Friday, and flames in 85% of the neighboring Andong city, which is home to UNESCO World Heritage sites, have been doused, according to the Korea Forest Service. Yeongdeok county on the ea...
