ai generated text
A devastating fire broke out at the Pulse nightclub in Kocani, North Macedonia, killing at least 59 people and injuring over 155 others. The blaze erupted during a concert by a local pop group, with initial reports suggesting that pyrotechnics used as part of the performance ignited the roof of the nightclub.
Preparations are being made to transport people seriously injured in the fire in Kocani to top hospitals in several European countries.
I call on all competent institutions – health services, police, local authorities – to take urgent measures to assist the injured and support the affected families.
It's terrible (...) hard to believe how this happened.
According to the information that we have there are 59 persons deceased of which 35 are identified.

The fire was caused by pyrotechnics used for lighting effects at the concert and activated the sprinklers.
My heart breaks this morning for the many victims in last night's fire at a nightclub in Kochani.
