Indonesia is battling its worst forest fires and toxic haze in 11 years, according to Al Jazeera. The outlet's report gave no further detail.
Parts of southern Southeast Asia are under the highest-level haze alert, France 24 reports. It says wildfires that have swept Indonesia for months are sending toxic smoke across the region.
France 24 says the seasonal fires are worse this year because of drought from a severe "super-El Nino" effect.
