Skopje, 16 March 2026 (MIA) — Kochani residents stood in silence early Monday to remember the 63 people killed in the Pulse nightclub fire one year ago.

The tribute began at 2:32 am, marking the exact time the fire broke out at the club on March 16, 2025. Another 200 people were injured in the fire.

Mourners placed hearts featuring the names of the dead outside the building. The event was organized by the local March 16, 2025 Association.

"Let the light show that we do not forget," the association said. "Let the silence speak of the love that remains." mr/
