Overview

• Heavy, unusual October snow on Everest’s Tibetan side left more than 1,000 climbers affected, with about 350 evacuated to Kudan as professional teams and local residents clear deep drifts.
• Tingri county’s tourism firm halted access to the Everest area, and rescued climbers reported severe cold and damp conditions that raised the risk of exposure.
• Ulaanbaatar began selling 25‑kg ‘half‑cokson’ fuel bags for 5,000 MNT to ger‑area households, with payment via ID QR scan, the Hotula app or Sain card, and a 13:00 briefing set at the Tavantolgoi Tulsh plant in Nalaikh.
• The city said the China‑purchased fuel is being repackaged by Tavantolgoi Tulsh for sale at designated points across all seven districts, with hotline 70119400 available to enable ID‑QR payments for those without the app or card.
• Mongolia’s weather service warned of rain, wet snow and strong winds on Oct 6 in Bulgan, Erdenet, Darkhan‑Uul and Selenge, with Ulaanbaatar near 7–9°C, as Parliament scheduled party‑group meetings at 10:00 and multiple working‑group sessions in the afternoon; separately, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov received the ‘Hero of the Chechen Republic’ medal in Grozny.
