ULAN BATOR, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- Two people were killed after their truck loaded with wood fell through ice on Khuvsgul Lake in northern Mongolia, the country's National Emergency Agency said on Monday.

The incident happened on Sunday in the lake in the northern Mongolian province of Khuvsgul. Local rescuers have retrieved the two bodies from the lake, the agency said, warning people from driving on any frozen lake as ice is now more likely to be thin.

In 2025, a total of 70 people, including 20 children, were killed in water-related accidents in the country, according to the agency. ■
