00:00Dozens of people were killed in North Macedonia's eastern town of Kočani, after a massive fire
00:08broke out at a nightclub.
00:11Over 100 people have been hospitalized, according to the country's health minister.
00:17Interior Minister Panča Toškovski said the blaze began around 2.30 in the morning during
00:22a concert by a local pop group.
00:25The young clubgoers had apparently used pyrotechnics that caused the roof to catch fire.
00:31Family members gathered in front of hospitals and Kočani city offices, begging authorities
00:36for more information.
00:38Toškovski said police have arrested one man, but didn't provide details on the person's
00:43involvement.
00:45Condolences poured in from politicians across the region, including Albania's Prime Minister
00:50Eddie Rama, the European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos, and Ukrainian President
00:55Volodymyr Zelensky.
01:02Ukraine's general staff reported the complete withdrawal of their troops from the Russian
01:07town of Sudja in the Kursk Oblast on Sunday.
01:11This was the biggest town they had occupied.
01:14On Saturday, Russia had reported and released footage of their recapture of the town.
01:22In Ukraine, Russian forces launched 90 attacks overnight on Saturday.
01:26The northern town of Chernihiv was struck by a wave of Russian drones, according to
01:32a top city official Dmitry Brezhinski.
01:35Residential high-rise buildings and homes were hit, causing fires.
01:43In the Chernihiv Oblast, a Russian ballistic missile reportedly crashed outside the border
01:49town of Semenivka near Russia, causing a partial power outage, according to Ukrainian authorities.
01:58Yemen's Houthi rebels claim to have launched 18 ballistic and cruise missiles and drones
02:07on the US aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman in a retaliatory attack.
02:12A Houthi military spokesman said that they will not hesitate to target all American warships
02:18in the Red Sea and in the Arabian Sea.
02:21The attack comes after the US launched dozens of airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas in
02:27Yemen on Saturday, targeting locations including the capital Sana'a and Saada province.
02:33The Houthis claim the strikes killed at least 31 people, mostly women and children.
02:38Last week, the Houthis said they would renew attacks against Israeli vessels after Israel
02:45cut off the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza this month.

02:58On Sunday, the head of Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard denied his country was

03:24Serbia, killing 15 people.
03:27The weekend rally was dubbed 15 for 15, referring to the date of the protests and the number
03:32of victims.
03:33The crowds fell silent for 15 minutes to honor each of the victims.
03:38Many in Serbia blame the awning collapse on rampant government corruption, negligence
03:42and disrespective construction safety regulations.
03:46Protesters are demanding officials responsible for this tragedy to be held to account.
03:56Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic addressed the people shortly after the rally.
04:01The Serbian leader acknowledged the people's demands, noting that officials in power have
04:05to change themselves and learn a lot.
04:13A crew of four replacements for two stuck NASA astronauts were welcomed at the International
04:18Space Station on Sunday after their SpaceX capsule docked successfully.

04:28months in space after the Boeing Starliner carrying them encountered too many problems
04:33to bring them back to Earth.
04:36The four newcomers will spend six months on the space station, with Wilmore and Williams
04:40expected to return home by Wednesday.
