Indonesian President Prabowo has lashed out at unnamed countries for "insulting" his nation over recurrent wildfires. Speaking on Wednesday in Jakarta, Prabowo stated that he has ordered investigations into the fires, which he insisted were "not purely natural."
The blazes have razed vast areas of land and generated toxic haze, driving air pollution to dangerous levels across Indonesia as well as neighboring Malaysia, Singapore, and Timor-Leste. The severe regional impact of the pollution prompted the ASEAN regional bloc to convene a meeting to address the crisis.
