AT LEAST 51 people have reportedly died after a fire broke out in a nightclub in North Macedonia.

The deadly blaze in the town of Kocani was due to fireworks being set off inside the venue, according to Reuters.

A statement from the public prosecutor’s office said the exact number of victims and those injured is still being determined.

It is thought that at least 100 people have been wounded in the horrific inferno which first erupted in the early hours of Sunday.

The injured are being treated at Kocani General Hospital, newspaper Nova Makedonija said.

The country’s prime minister Hristijan Mickoski is set to travel to the scene today, it added.
