Latest news in Indonesia? September 8th, 2026

Flights to and from Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, and several other airports resumed early Tuesday, September 8, 2026, after safety assessments confirmed that volcanic ash disruption from Mount Anak Krakatau was easing following a two-day closure that had stranded hundreds of thousands of travelers. Simultaneously, Indonesia continues to face severe seasonal forest and land fires in regions like Kalimantan and Sumatra, which have worsened due to dry conditions and sent toxic haze across neighboring countries in Southeast Asia.
