At least 59 people were killed and over 150 injured in a devastating fire at Club Pulse in Kocani, North Macedonia. Authorities have arrested 20 individuals as part of the investigation and are investigating safety violations and possible corruption linked to the tragedy.
The identities of those killed in the fire are beginning to emerge, though local authorities are yet to issue an official list of the victims. The government is in the process of holding emergency meetings to determine what further action it needs to take. “None of the responsible this time should avoid the law, the justice, and punishment too,” said president Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova. “Nothing is worthier than human life, specifically young life.”
