Thousands have gathered at cemeteries across North Macedonia for the funerals of dozens of people killed in a nightclub fire on Sunday. The blaze tore through the small Pulse club in the town of Kocani, killing 59 and injuring scores more. Officials say the club illegally obtained its licence, that it lacked sprinklers, and that the venue was a converted carpet warehouse, whose single emergency exit was locked at the time of the fire. More than 20 people have been detained, including government officials, police officers and the manager of the club, as anger has grown.
