Heavy rain triggers landslides and wall collapse in Dubrovnik

Heavy rain in Dubrovnik-Neretva County in Croatia caused disruptions on Wednesday, triggering several landslides.

A wall collapsed onto the road above Banje Beach in the Ploče area of Dubrovnik, damaging several parked vehicles and leading to the closure of the street to traffic.

The City of Dubrovnik confirmed the wall was on private land, and while the owners had ordered repairs in October, an appeal led to a ruling that the Dubrovnik Department of Public Utilities was not competent to address the matter.

Additional landslides affected the Adriatic Highway near Dubac, reducing traffic to one lane with manual regulation.
