ULAN BATOR, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- Fourteen people have been killed in structure fires in Mongolia so far this year, the country's National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said Wednesday.
A total of 831 structure fires were reported across the country since the beginning of this year, up 14.9 percent from the same period last year, NEMA said.
But the amount of economic losses caused by the fires decreased by 73.4 percent compared to the same period last year, the agency said, adding that the fires caused losses of 2.1 billion Mongolian tugriks (around 797,000 U.S. dollars).
