Tragedy Strikes North Macedonia: Nightclub Inferno Claims Lives

A devastating fire during a concert in North Macedonia has left dozens feared dead.


In the early hours of Sunday, a nightclub fire in Kocani has resulted in widespread casualties, with reports indicating that around 50 individuals may have lost their lives.

In a heartbreaking incident that has shocked the nation, an inferno erupted at the Pulse nightclub in Kocani, approximately 100 kilometers east of Skopje. Local media sources report the catastrophe struck during a concert featuring the popular hip-hop duo ADN. Eyewitness footage circulating on social platforms depicts the venue engulfed in flames, with smoke rising ominously into the night sky.

While preliminary reports estimate that the death toll may reach as high as 50, official confirmation is still pending. It is believed that approximately 1,500 concertgoers were present, and many were injured as flames consumed the establishment soon after the fire broke out around 03:00 local time.

Initial investigations suggest that the blaze may have been triggered by pyrotechnic effects used during the performance, as video evidence shows sparks igniting the ceiling. As the situation continues to develop, the community anxiously awaits further updates and verifications regarding the tragedy’s scale while mourning the lives lost in this horrific event.
