Deadly nightclub inferno shocks North Macedonia: ‘children burnt beyond recognition’

North Macedonia is mourning after a devastating nightclub fire in Kocani claimed the lives of 59 people, including teenagers, and injured 155. The tragedy, the deadliest in the nation's recent history, has prompted widespread shock and grief, with President Gordana Davkova Siljanovska expressing her condolences and calling for accountability.

The fire ripped through the overcrowded nightclub early Sunday, leading to a chaotic scene as people desperately tried to escape through the building's only exit.
