Four dead in Indonesia wildfire fight
Four Indonesian men were killed and another two were injured while attempting to put out wildfires in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in East Java. The number of hot spots detected by satellites increased from 372 to 799 in Borneo, as the fires worsened and the toxic smoke spread, hampering firefighting efforts—particularly in Tanjung Puting Orangutan Reserve, which is critically endangered. Over 900,000 hectares of forests have been affected during the dry season, with this year's fires intensified by the strong El Niño climate phenomenon.
