Strong mag. 6.8 earthquake - Russia-Mongolia Border Region on Monday, 11 January 2021 at 21:32 (GMT) www.volcanodiscovery.com

A magnitude 6.6 earthquake near Turt, Khankh, Hövsgöl Aymag, Mongolia, was reported only 12 minutes ago by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter early morning on Tuesday 12 January 2021 at 5:33 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 6.2 earthquake.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Turt (pop. 2,100) located 34 km from the epicenter.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism, either online or via our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around the globe who wants to know more about this quake.

Feature: Mongolian business owners glad to see lockdown measures ease in capital www.xinhuanet.com

Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- "I'm very happy that the strict COVID-19 restrictions have been loosened gradually, and we have been allowed to work," said Ochirbat Ariunaa, a woman who runs a sewing workshop here in Mongolia's capital.
Though the number of COVID-19 infections is on the rise, Mongolia partially eased the COVID-19 lockdown measures in the country's capital Ulan Bator starting from Monday with certain conditions to revive the economy and support businesses.
Employees of all types of trade and service organizations, except for 18 types of organizations such as stores carrying non-food items, saunas, bars, hair and beauty salons, and fitness and entertainment centers, are being allowed to return to work, but must obey strict safety guidelines.
The Mongolian Health Ministry is urging the trade and service organizations to strictly adhere to infection control measures by disinfecting surfaces, keeping social distance, not serving customers who don't wear masks and checking their body temperature.
"COVID-19-related restrictions have become a big blow to small and medium-sized businesses like us," Ariunaa said.
Traditionally, during the White Moon festival or the Lunar New Year, people order a lot of traditional costumes, so her sewing workshop earns most of its annual income around that time.
Yet this year, the Mongolian government has banned the celebration of the traditional White Moon festival or the Lunar New Year due to the pandemic. "It is expected to take a long time for us to make up for the loss and make money like before," said Ariunaa.
Davaa Enktsetseg is the owner of a small coffee shop in Ulan Bator.
"Almost two months later, we returned to work today. There are now very few customers at the coffee shop," Enkhtsetseg said. "If the pandemic continues for a long time and there will be a few people like today, our coffee shop will have to close its doors."
Enkhjargal Sumiya, a self-employed manicurist, worries about her prospects as manicurists are still not allowed to work. "There are many people in this country like us who live on their daily income," she said, "I just want the COVID-19 pandemic to end quickly."
Mongolia confirmed its first case of COVID-19 in March 2020. Its first local transmission was detected in early November, when a woman tested positive after her husband returning from Russia finished his 21-day mandatory quarantine.
The incident triggered a nationwide lockdown that was later extended in Ulan Bator and two provinces until Dec. 11. After that, the Mongolian government reimposed lockdown measures in Ulan Bator, which was the hardest hit by the coronavirus outbreak, from Dec. 23 to Jan. 6 and extended the strict all-day lockdown until Jan. 11 to curb resurging local cases.
As of Monday, the Asian country has reported 1,442 COVID-19 cases, more than two-thirds of which were locally transmitted.
The country, with a population of 3.3 million, has so far registered two COVID-19-related deaths and 896 recoveries. Enditem

Foreign visitors to Mongolia fell by 89.5 pct in 2020 www.xinhuanet.com

Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- The number of foreign visitors to Mongolia in 2020 plummeted by 89.5 percent from the previous year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to official data.
Mongolia received a total of 66,900 foreign visitors last year, the National Statistics Office said on Monday.
The sharp decline in foreign tourist arrivals is directly related to the prolonged measures to contain the global COVID-19 outbreak, according to the office.
Mongolia has taken measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 since February 2020, including suspension of international passenger flights.
As of Monday, the Asian country has reported 1,442 COVID-19 cases, more than two-thirds of which were locally transmitted.

India pressures Mongolia to complete oil pipeline on time www.mongoliaweekly.org

The Indian government has reaffirmed its commitment to building Mongolia's first oil refinery, but has also subtly pressured the Mongolian government to ensure an accompanying pipeline is constructed on time.
In a video conference with Chief Cabinet Secretary L. Oyun-Erdene and Mining Minister G. Yondon, India's Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas & Steel, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, said that he hoped Mongolia would finish connecting a crude oil pipeline to the refinery 'well before' it is opened.
The refinery will be small by international standards but should meet domestic requirements. (Unsplash)The refinery will be small by international standards but should meet domestic requirements. (Unsplash)

The refinery, which is largely funded by the Indian government through a line of credit extended during high-level visits in 2015, is being built in Altanshiree in Dornogovi province. It is scheduled for completion in 2022.
Despite producing and exporting thousands of barrels of oil per day, Mongolia depends on imports of finished petrochemicals from Russia to meet domestic demand.
The Mongol Refinery Project, as it is known, aims to reduce this dependence.
Interestingly, the refinery is apparently the largest project India is undertaking through its Lines of Credit program, which suggests New Delhi is keen to strengthen ties with Ulaanbaatar. The project is managed by the state-owned Engineers India Ltd.
However, the fact that the Indian government has gone public with its request for Mongolia to complete the pipeline before the refinery opens suggests it may be concerned about project slippage.
Pradhan said he "sought [Oyun-Erdene and Yondon's] cooperation in completing this pipeline well before the commissioning of the Refinery project."
In exchange, Pradhan indicated that India hoped to gain greater access to Mongolian mineral supplies.
"“We look forward to substantial partnerships with Mongolian companies in the areas of minerals, coal and steel," he said.

Apple, Hyundai set to agree electric car tie-up, says Korea IT News www.reuters.com

SEOUL (Reuters) - Hyundai Motor and Apple Inc plan to sign a partnership deal on autonomous electric cars by March and start production around 2024 in the United States, local newspaper Korea IT News reported on Sunday.
The report follows a statement on Friday from Hyundai Motor that it was in early talks with Apple after another local media outlet said the companies aimed to launch a self-driving electric car in 2027, sending Hyundai shares up nearly 20%.
Hyundai Motor declined to comment on the report on Sunday, and reiterated Friday’s comments that it has received requests for potential cooperation from various companies on developing autonomous EVs.
Apple had no immediate comment.
An updated version of the IT news report removed details, including production location and capacity and the timeframe for signing the agreement and launching the pilot vehicles.
The previous version said the companies planned to build the cars at Kia Motors’ factory in Georgia, or invest jointly in a new factory in the United States to produce 100,000 vehicles around 2024. The full annual capacity of the proposed plant would be 400,000 vehicles.
Kia Motors is an affiliate of Hyundai Motor.

The report also said Hyundai and Apple planned to release a “beta version” of the Apple cars next year.
Reuters reported last month that Apple was moving forward with autonomous car technology and aimed to produce a passenger vehicle that could include its own breakthrough battery technology as early as 2024.
Shares in Hyundai Motor rose 14.6% in morning trade on Monday, while affiliate auto parts maker Hyundai Mobis shares rose 12.7% and Kia shares rose 9.1% versus a 2% gain in the wider market.

Record number of small firms 'set to close' www.bbc.com

A record number of small firms could close in the next 12 months, says the Federation of Small Businesses.
Without further government help to cope with the effects of the pandemic, more than a quarter of a million businesses could be lost, it said.
The FSB said it had put forward ideas to help some of those firms, which it hoped ministers would adopt.
Its proposed support scheme would aim to help many self-employed workers currently excluded from aid.
The FSB based its prediction on a survey of 1,400 small firms, 5% of which said they expected to close this year.
If those figures were replicated across the country, some 250,000 of the UK's 5.9 million small firms could disappear, it said.
FSB national chairman Mike Cherry said: "The development of business support measures has not kept pace with intensifying restrictions.
"As a result, we risk losing hundreds of thousands of great, ultimately viable small businesses this year, at huge cost to local communities and individual livelihoods."
Mr Cherry said the government had met the latest national lockdown "with a whimper" and called for help that went beyond the retail, leisure and hospitality businesses.
"Company directors, the newly self-employed, those in supply chains and those without commercial premises are still being left out in the cold," he added.
Among other groups, the FSB is concerned that directors of small companies, who pay themselves in dividends rather than drawing a salary, are not receiving any help from the government.
The FSB said somewhere between 700,000 and 1.1 million people fell into this category.
If adopted by ministers, the FSB's proposed Directors Income Support Scheme would pay them grants of up to £7,500 to cover three months of lost trading profits. It would be limited to those who earn less than £50,000 a year.
The FSB said it had submitted its proposals to the Treasury and was expecting a decision this month.
The Treasury said nothing was planned at present, but added: "Our support schemes are designed to get help to those who need it most whilst protecting the taxpayer from fraud, but of course we keep everything under review and are always open to further ideas."
