Mongolia’s meteorological agency has issued a warning as warmer temperatures are expected to increase activity near rivers and lakes. The alert urges citizens to exercise extreme caution when near bodies of water, emphasizing the dangers of sudden currents, sinkholes, and unexpected drops. Parents are specifically advised to closely supervise children and never leave them unattended near riverbanks. Authorities also advise against swimming under the influence of alcohol or using non-designated floating devices. Motorists are warned to only travel across rivers at designated fords and bridges, taking preventative measures to ensure safety during the spring thaw. These precautions aim to prevent accidental drownings and ensure public safety during the warmer months.
