JAKARTA : Indonesia is dousing forest fires with water sprayed from helicopters and inducing rain through cloudseeding, its environment minister said on Friday, but denied that hazardous haze was crossing borders, as neighbouring Malaysia has said.

Indonesia is using helicopters to quench the fires with water bombing while inducing rain with cloud seeding methods, Siti Nurbaya said. Indonesia's dry season this year is the most severe since 2019, because of the hot and dry El Niño weather pattern, making it harder to control the fires, authorities have said.

Lax enforcement means the fires often spiral out of control to produce haze that poses public health risks and disrupts businesses.
