10 people died in Ulan Bator due to suspected carbon monoxide poisoning, possibly linked to stove chimney smoke.

10 people aged 29 to 55 died in Mongolia's capital Ulan Bator due to suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. The deaths may be linked to smoke from a stove's chimney. Housing is a significant issue in the country, particularly in the capital, where over half of the population lives in ger districts without running water, central heating, or sewerage systems, often resorting to burning fuel to keep warm and cook meals.
