Bosnia faced its deadliest floods in years with rescuers working tirelessly in the village of Donja Jablanica to find missing individuals after a devastating natural disaster struck the Balkan country. N1 TV reported 21 casualties and numerous missing persons in the Jablanica area, prompting government intervention through a scheduled press conference.
The Mountain Rescue Service spokesperson expressed concern over inaccessible villages, voicing uncertainty over the situation. Despite heavy rain impeding search efforts, the operation resumed once the weather cleared, revealing the extent of damage in Donja Jablanica.
Survivor stories, like Nezima Begovic’s narrow escape, highlighted the sheer destruction caused by flash flooding. The aftermath led to the postponement of local elections and football matches while underscoring the impact of climate change on extreme weather patterns in Europe.
