Haze grips Kuala Lumpur as Borneo wildfires persist
Haze gripped Kuala Lumpur, obscuring its skyline on Wednesday, as wildfires burned across Indonesia's Borneo. Indonesia is battling its most intense wildfires in 11 years. Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni warned the fires could continue until November, with Borneo and Sumatra the worst-hit islands. The spreading haze has caused a spike in respiratory illnesses across the region. At 11 a.m. local time (0300 GMT), IQAir ranked Kuala Lumpur as the world's most polluted major city, with a reading of 214 — in the very unhealthy range.
