A large-scale steppe fire erupted in the Numrug Strictly Protected Area in eastern Mongolia, threatening to spread toward the China-Mongolia border. Initial investigations suggest the fire was triggered by a convoy run by Mobicom, a Mongolian telecommunications company that has Japanese investment. Mongolia activated a cross-provincial emergency response, while China mobilized over 3,400 firefighters along the Inner Mongolia section of the border.
