@cjustastick: According to Japan's Ministry of Defense, the mission ended after Indonesia indicated that it could handle the remaining fires on its own. However, Indonesia's disaster management agency (BNPB) disputed suggestions that Japanese forces were sent away, saying the two-week mission had simply ended as scheduled. Meanwhile, Indonesia's forest fire crisis continues, with thick haze affecting neighbouring countries, including Malaysia and Singapore, and hundreds of thousands of respiratory illness cases reported across Indonesia. Despite the worsening situation, Indonesia has also declined offers of firefighting assistance from Malaysia and Singapore, maintaining that it can handle the crisis with its own resources.
