Su-24M crash in Khmelnytskyi: interviewed witnesses, there are findings of DNA expertise

Two fires broke out within less than 24 hours in Skopje, affecting farmland, a garage, and a jeep. The first incident occurred yesterday afternoon in the village of Novo Selo, located near Skopje. According to reports from the Skopje Branch of the State Fire Service (SVR), the fire spread over agricultural fields and a supporting area where domestic animals were kept. Emergency services from the Skopje Fire Brigade responded promptly and managed to contain and extinguish the blaze. Authorities confirmed that there were no injuries during this incident.

The second fire was reported early today around four o'clock in the morning on the territory of the Center district in Skopje. This time, the fire started in a passenger vehicle—a Range Rover—registered under Skopje license plates, owned by a 54-year-old resident of Skopje. Again, the Skopje Fire Brigade intervened and successfully put out the fire without any casualties. Police teams conducted an inspection at the scene and have initiated measures to fully investigate the causes behind both incidents. Officials from the Ministry of Interior emphasized that they are working diligently to clear up the cases and determine the reasons for the fires.

In addition to these fire-related incidents, police in Skopje took two individuals into custody earlier today on charges related to marijuana possession. The individuals, identified as E.M. (34) and a 17-year-old minor, both residents of Skopje, were arrested following checks conducted by officers from the Internal Affairs Sector in Skopje. During these checks, law enforcement found and confiscated quantities of marijuana. Once all documentation regarding the cases is completed, appropriate legal actions will be taken against them.

Separately, another significant development unfolded in Skopje involving a murder investigation. A man named S.G., aged 51, who resides in the Skopje suburb of Taor, has been detained by police from the Internal Affairs Sector in Skopje due to suspicion of murdering a 48-year-old woman, J.G. According to information released by the Ministry of Interior, S.G. reported to the police station on June 26, 2026, that J.G., with whom he lived in the same house, had gone missing from their home. He then reported the following day that he found her body near the village of Letevci, also in the Skopje region.

Upon arrival at the location, police officers and a public prosecutor examined the site. The body, which was already in an advanced state of decomposition, was handed over to forensic medicine for autopsy according to the orders of the public prosecutor. An official statement indicated that S.G. underwent a formal interview and was subsequently placed under arrest. In connection with the case, three other individuals—Z.M. (62), G.B. (64), and M.D. (69)—were also taken into custody. The Ministry of Interior stated that coordination with the public prosecutor continues as efforts are made to thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the death.

These developments highlight the varied nature of incidents occurring in Skopje, ranging from natural disasters such as fires to criminal activities including drug possession and homicide. Each situation requires distinct responses from emergency services and law enforcement agencies. As investigations continue, authorities remain committed to ensuring justice is served and public safety maintained. The outcomes of these ongoing inquiries could potentially influence future policies and procedures aimed at preventing similar occurrences.
