Indonesia ramps up forest fire fight

The country faces significant challenges due to the thick smoke and its health impacts on millions of people. The government employed techniques including artificial rainmaking and carried out aerial and land firefighting operations, achieving some positive results.

Officials also warned about the long-term health risks posed by air pollution.
