The blaze took place at a nightclub where up to 1,500 people were in attendance.
A nightclub fire in Kocani, North Macedonia, killed 59 people and injured 155, including many minors. The fire was likely caused by pyrotechnics igniting flammable ceiling material during a concert in an overcrowded club operating without a license. Arrest warrants have been issued for four people, and a criminal investigation is underway.
