The rain that fell over the past two days caused the river Zeljeznica to overflow its riverbed, flooding the Municipality of Ilidza and the surrounding settlements.

The power outage was caused by a breakdown at several substations in some parts of the city, while in others it was turned off as a precaution.

The situation was also critical in the municipality of Trnovo where hundreds of houses were flooded, farms were destroyed and many locals were evacuated.

The rain in the Sarajevo canton continues to fall.
