Bosnia-Herzegovina Devastated by Deadly Floods and Landslides

At least 17 people have died, with dozens missing, as severe weather wreaks havoc in central and southern Bosnia.

  • Rescue efforts are underway for up to 40 missing individuals in Bosnia following flash floods and landslides.
  • Heavy rainstorms on October 4 caused significant destruction, cutting off villages and destroying infrastructure.
  • The hardest-hit areas include Jablanica and Konjic, where entire communities have been buried under mud and debris.
  • Climate change is believed to have intensified the rainfall, with scientists noting the region's dried-out land worsened flooding.
  • Bosnian authorities have declared a state of disaster, and local elections have been postponed in affected areas.
