A devastating fire broke out at a nightclub in North Macedonia during a concert, killing at least 50 people and injuring over 100. The fire occurred at the “Pulse” nightclub in Kocani, a town 60 miles east of the capital Skopje, where around 1,500 people had gathered for a concert by popular hip-hop duo DNK.
The fire started at around 3 am, with local media speculating that it may have been caused by the use of pyrotechnic devices. The wounded were rushed to local hospitals, with many young people among the victims.
Eyewitnesses described the chaotic scene as people rushed to escape the burning building. The fire spread quickly, fueled by the club’s decorations and furniture.
This tragic incident has sent shockwaves through the community, and authorities are likely to investigate the cause of the fire to prevent such disasters in the future. The government has promised to provide support to the families of the victims.
