bosnian At least 11 people have been killed and more than 30 injured in a fire that broke out the evening before at a retirement facility in Bosnia, officials said Wednesday.
It is unclear what caused the fire that broke out on the 7th floor (US 8th floor) of the building in Tuzla on Tuesday evening. Bosnian media reported that on higher floors of the complex lived elderly people who could not walk on their own or were ill.
Tuzla Mayor Zijad Lugavic said firefighters and rescue workers were among the injured, and authorities were holding an emergency meeting on Wednesday to assess the situation.
Ruza Kajic, who lives on the third floor, said she had gone to bed when she heard a “knocking sound” and saw flames falling from the upper floor.
