Fatal Flooding: Heavy Rains Claim Lives and Trigger Evacuations in Slovenia

Heavy rains in northern and western Slovenia have caused floods, resulting in at least two deaths, including two men from the Netherlands who may have been struck by lightning. An elderly Slovenian woman also died during the storm. The torrential rains have led to power outages, disrupted traffic, and the evacuation of residents trapped in their homes. The situation is expected to worsen as the heavy rains spread to neighboring Croatia and Bosnia. Rescuers are facing challenges in reaching affected areas due to closed roads and landslides. The army is prepared to assist, and authorities have declared an emergency situation in some areas.
