Hundreds of firefighters are battling a new fire in China's largest forest in the Greater Hinggan Mountains, authorities said on Tuesday.
The fire broke out about 12:15 pm on Tuesday in the Beidahe forest in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, regional fire authorities said.
More than 700 People's Armed Police soldiers have been mobilized to extinguish the blaze. Strong winds and mountainous terrain are making their work difficult, Xinhua reported on Tuesday.
