Indonesian police have arrested 72 individuals suspected of starting forest fires, as the country battles worsening wildfires exacerbated by El Niño conditions. The ongoing crisis has resulted in significant environmental impact, with nearly 95,000 hectares of land damaged recently. Authorities are prioritizing the Kalimantan region as a hotspot and have increased troop deployments to combat the spread of flames. The smoke from the fires has caused severe air quality issues, affecting visibility in West Kalimantan and reaching neighboring Malaysia. Amid warnings against open burning, experts caution that the crisis could lead to massive carbon emissions and environmental repercussions globally.
