NMACEDONIA-NIGHTCLUB-FIRE

Firefighters and police officers inspect the nightclub where a fire broke out overnight in Kocani, a town some 100 kilometres east of the capital Skopje, on March 16, 2025. A fire tore through an overcrowded nightclub packed with mostly young people in North Macedonia overnight, killing 59 people, apparently after on-stage fireworks at a hip-hop concert set the venue ablaze, authorities said. Some 155 people who were injured in the inferno had been taken to hospitals across the country, 22 of them in critical condition, officials said.
