A severe rainstorm unleashed its fury overnight in Bosnia and Herzegovina, leading to catastrophic flooding that resulted in at least 14 fatalities and significant destruction across central and southern regions. Drone footage highlighted towns and villages submerged, with distressing visuals of mudslides and damaged infrastructure. Reports indicated that crucial transportation routes were obliterated, posing immense challenges for rescue efforts as roads were rendered impassable and many individuals were left stranded.
Local authorities confirmed that ongoing rescue operations are hindered by difficult conditions as rescue teams navigate through flooded areas without electricity or infrastructure support. Darko Jukan from Jablanica highlighted the escalating death toll, and the urgent need for assistance, stating, 'We sent everyone we could. Our first priority is to save the people who remain endangered.' Community volunteers and military involvement were rallied to address the overwhelming crisis.
