A severe rainstorm struck Bosnia and Herzegovina overnight into Friday, killing at least 14 people and flooding several towns and villages in central and southern parts of the Balkan nation.
Drone footage broadcast by Bosnian news outlets showed villages and towns completely submerged under water, while videos on social networks showed dramatic scenes of muddy torrents and damaged roads.
Photos showed that one of the busiest roads linking the capital, Sarajevo, with the Adriatic coast via Jablanica had been swept into a river along with a railway line in a huge landslide.
“At least 14 dead were found in the Jablanica area,” said Darko Jukan, a spokesman for Bosnia’s interethnic presidency, a Bosniak, Serb and Croat tripartite. “There are a lot of people reported missing.”
The civil defence of the Bosniak-Croat Federation said the death toll could rise.
