A serious incident occurred this afternoon in Durrës, where a 17-year-old lost his life on the premises of a secondary school.

The incident took place around 3:15 PM in the gymnasium of the "Marie Kaçulini" school, which is currently used in the afternoon for classes by the public high school "Gjergj Kastrioti," following damage to the latter from the earthquake and the ongoing reconstruction process.
