Zagreb skyscraper fire causes major damage

A major fire broke out late on 17 November in the Vjesnik skyscraper on Slavonska Avenue in Zagreb, spreading vertically across several floors and the roof.

Firefighters deployed dozens of vehicles and around 80 personnel to contain the blaze.

Officials said archives and furniture inside the building fueled the fire, but no casualties were reported. While the cause remains unknown, investigators suspect an issue with the building’s installations.

Authorities say there is no danger of the skyscraper collapsing, though the structure may require reconstruction or demolition.
