Smoke haze has once again engulfed the city of Padang

A swiftlet (Family Apodidae) perches on an electric cable against the backdrop of a sun shrouded in haze in Padang, West Sumatra, Friday (2/10/2026). As the haze caused by forest and land fires (karhutla) from West Sumatra and neighboring provinces in the city of Padang and its surroundings begins to subside, the local government urges the public to wear masks when engaging in outdoor activities.
