Updated:

A severe rainstorm struck Bosnia overnight Friday, with at least fourteen people dead after floods and landslides hit several towns and villages in central and southern parts of the country.

Rescue services in the south of the country reported several people missing and called on volunteers and the army to assist people that were left stranded in their homes without electricity.

Darko Juka, a spokesman for the local administration, said that the fourteen victims were found near the southern town of Jablanica.

“Those are the ones who have been discovered by rescuers,” he said. “We still don't know the final death toll.”
