Novi Sad Railway Collapse Kills 11

A tragic accident occurred in Novi Sad, Serbia, where the roof of a railway station collapsed around noon, resulting in at least 11 deaths and multiple injuries. The collapse trapped several individuals under the rubble, including a 14-year-old girl, prompting a challenging rescue operation involving about 80 personnel using heavy machinery. The station had undergone renovations in 2021 and again this year, but the collapsed section was not part of these renovations. Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic expressed condolences and promised an investigation to hold those responsible accountable. The incident has been described as a 'black Friday' for Serbia, with train operations halted from the affected station.
