- Investigators say the blaze was likely sparked by bottle fireworks that ignited a foam‑insulated ceiling, and they are examining whether the materials met fire codes.
- Hospitals report a prolonged medical effort: donor skin has been delivered to Zurich and Leipzig, patients are spread across specialist burn centers, and many face months of surgeries and intensive care.
- Switzerland will hold a national day of mourning on Friday, with more than 1,000 attendees and delegations from about 30 countries, including Presidents Emmanuel Macron and Sergio Mattarella.
