Tragedy struck in Lukavac as two elderly individuals, previously injured in a nursing home fire, have succumbed to their injuries. A prosecutor has been assigned to investigate the incident.

In other pressing domestic news, the wildfire on Čvrsnica mountain continues to spread uncontrollably, prompting the return of water bombers to aid in firefighting efforts. Economic and social challenges persist, with Zenica miners entering their third night on hunger strike over unpaid wages, and a report highlighting that a thousand people have been starving for five months without official response. Drivers are also bracing for the most expensive tire replacement season yet due to sharply rising service prices.
