A parachutist was killed in an accident in Tolminsk.

An accident involving a skydiver occurred in Tolmin, Slovenia, resulting in the death of a Hungarian national. According to police reports from the Nova Gorica Police Department, the man, who was jumping with friends, launched his parachute at Kobali. After approximately an hour, the parachute failed, causing him to fall from an unknown height onto the ground or pasture, where he sustained injuries. A doctor from the Tolmin Health Center confirmed his death at the scene. Additionally, two other incidents required emergency medical assistance and mountain rescue teams: one person injured during a public event near Volče, and another who suddenly became ill at the same event. Rescue teams provided cooling and hydration aid before transporting the affected individuals to ambulances.
