Six people, including four children aged 2 and 7, died in a fire overnight in Novi Sad, Serbia's second-largest city, Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said on August 23. The fire, which broke out in the Salajka neighborhood of Novi Sad, appears to have been caused by a scooter, which had been left connected to the electricity grid, Dacic said. "We assume the victims are members of the family that lived at that address," said Dacic. Police and prosecutors opened an investigation after the fire was put out by the city's fire brigade.
