Floods from torrential rain kill several people across Jablanica, authorities say, while more are missing.
Several people have died in floods in Bosnia and Herzegovina and others are missing as torrential rain and landslides destroyed homes, roads and bridges across the centre of the country.
The municipality of Jablanica, about 70km (43 miles) southwest of the capital, Sarajevo, which bore the brunt of 24 hours of downpours, was completely cut off on Friday after road and railway links were destroyed.
“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.
Some houses had been reduced to rubble by landslides, in what appeared to be Bosnia’s worst flooding since at least 2014, when more than 20 people died in floods.
