Once again, the Midsummer holiday period in Latvia has been marred by tragic events. Despite hopes each year that the celebrations will be free of accidents, the reality has been grim. The past 24 hours and the entire holiday weekend have claimed several lives.

The victims died in three different circumstances: on roads, in water, and in a fire. The exact number of casualties has not been disclosed, but emergency services have been working overtime. Rescuers, medics, and police have been responding to calls throughout the holiday.

These incidents underscore the importance of safety during festivities, especially near water bodies and on roads, where tragedies often occur.
