Thin thermal natures of a plasma temperature of several keV are observed in the diffuse X-ray spectra from the galactic ridge region by the Tenma satellite. Within the constraints imposed by the observational results, possible origins of the ridge X-ray emission are discussed. We show that unidentified young supernova remnants in a tenuous medium could be a significant contributor to the ridge emission.
