Dozens dead in North Macedonia night club fire

At least 59 people have died after a fire tore through an overcrowded nightclub in North Macedonia early Sunday, (local time), apparently after on-stage fireworks at a hip-hop concert set the venue ablaze.

Some 155 people injured in the inferno were taken to hospitals across the country, with 22 of them in critical condition, officials said. Some of the more serious cases were sent to hospitals in neighbouring Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia and Croatia.

Interior Minister Pance Toskovski said more than 20 of the injured and three of the dead were minors.

“At the time of the event around 500 people were inside, while 250 tickets were sold,” he said.
