Forest fires were renewed in the southern Erzin district of Tuva, reported the head alexistrator of Erzin, Aldyn-Kys Kombu (who is the only female district admistrator head in Tuva). The fires are due to the dry thunderstorms which often occur in Russia--lighting occurs, but no rain follows. Many shepherds campsites have already burned, 25 in all, and half of the forest territory of Erzin is on fire.
