A tragedy occurred at the station in Novi Sad: there are victims

According to the emergency services, part of the outer roof collapsed today at the railway station in the city of Novi Sad in the north of Serbia.

Footage posted on social media shows several ambulances and fire trucks at the scene near the train station.

It is known about 13 dead people — they were pulled out from under the rubble throughout the day and into the evening.

In the afternoon, rescuers freed two women who were trapped under the rubble. According to the head of the medical center of Voivodeship, where they were taken, they were in critical condition.

Luka Čaušić, who heads the Ministry of Internal Affairs' emergency management center, said that the rescue operation is complicated by the heavy weight of concrete and will continue into the night.

The railway station in the city of Novi Sad reopened in July after three years of renovation work. Construction work in some parts of the station is still ongoing. Reconstruction of the building was completed this summer, but the part of the roof that collapsed was not reconstructed.
