A massive fire in a nightclub in North Macedonia's southern town of Kocani has killed 51 people and injured about 100 more, interior minister Panche Toshkovski has told a press conference.
The blaze began about 2.35am (6.30pm AEDT) on Sunday during a concert by a local pop group, according to Toshkovski.
He said the young clubgoers used pyrotechnics that caused the roof to catch fire. Video on social media shows chaos inside.
