Video footage has revealed the moment a North Macedonia nightclub caught fire, killing 59 people.

The fire broke out around 2.30am on Sunday (16 March) at the Pulse club in Kocani, where around 500 people had gathered for a concert by DNK, a popular hip-hop duo.

At least 59 people were killed in the blaze with hundreds more injured.
