Earlier today (10 June), the food at the supermarket on the ground floor of the State Department Store was destroyed. On 7 June, a huge fire destroyed the fifth and sixth floors of Mongolia’s most famous store, located in the heart of Ulaanbaatar. The rest of the building was filled with dense black smoke.

The Metropolitan Professional Inspection Department has ordered Nomin Holdings, the Store owners, to destroy foods, cosmetics, medicines and other products damaged by the fire and smoke in order to prevent possible health risks for costumers.

Last year, 83.4 tonnes of foods were destroyed after E-mart caught fire.
