ULAN BATOR, Feb. 6 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 6th Feb, 2023 ) --:About 70 percent of the Mongolian territory has been covered with snow of up to 60 cm thick, local media reported on Monday.
The condition increases the risk of extreme wintry weather -- known as "dzud", said the report, citing the country's Ministry of food, Agriculture and Light Industry.
