Operation to extinguish forest and land fires from the air

The Indonesian National Board for Disaster Management (BNPB) has initiated aerial firefighting operations to address ongoing forest and land fires (karhutla). The mission utilizes air-based resources to suppress blazes and mitigate the spread of fire across affected areas.

These operations are part of the national strategy to manage environmental hazards and prevent further destruction of forest resources. The deployment of aerial assets serves as a critical component in the broader effort to control fire incidents and protect vulnerable landscapes.
