According to preliminary data, 6 people were killed, 23 people were injured, thousands of residents were evacuated, houses, roads were destroyed, transport connections and electricity supplies were disrupted.
In turn, the Government of Slovenia has appealed for international assistance through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism and the Euro-Atlantic Coordination Centre for the Response to Natural Disasters and Disasters.
