The fire broke out and spread to the ceiling and the roof of the club, which quickly burned.

“The number of victims and injuries in the fire is determined,” said the public prosecutor in an explanation.

The state agency Mia said at least 50 were killed, citing the Interior Ministry.

The agency reported that the fire in Pulse, a night club in the small town with around 30,000 inhabitants, broke out during a concert by DNK, a hip-hop duo, which was popular in the country.

The concert, which started on March 16 at midnight, mainly took part in young people.

The online media -outlet SDK reported that the fire started at 3 a.m. and gave a record of more than 100 injured rescue sources.

The wounded were either brought to the local Kocani Hospital or in Stipen, about 30 km south of the city.

Local media speculated that the fire was probably caused by the use of pyrotechnic devices. Reuters, AFP
