Indonesia fights fires with dry ice as toxic haze spreads

Indonesia has begun dropping dry ice on wildfires in an attempt to extinguish blazes whose toxic haze is spreading across the region, affecting neighbouring Singapore and Malaysia. The unorthodox tactic comes as seasonal fires continue to blanket large areas in smoke, prompting concern over air quality and criticism of the government's response under President Prabowo Subianto.
Why now: Annual Indonesian wildfires are again sending hazardous haze across Singapore and Malaysia, and the unusual dry-ice tactic is drawing attention and scepticism.
