        "summary": "Indonesia has deployed 15 aircraft to conduct cloud-seeding operations over wildfire-prone areas of Central and South Kalimantan and South Sumatra, aiming to induce rainfall during favourable atmospheric conditions. Ordered by President Prabowo Subianto, the coordinated effort involves the BMKG, BNPB, the Forestry Ministry and the armed forces, with weekly risk maps guiding priority areas through late November.",
        "content": "<p>The fleet includes military Hercules and CN-295 transport aircraft\ndispersing dry ice and sodium chloride into cloud formations during a\nprojected multi-day period of favorable atmospheric conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWeather modification operations are currently being carried out on a\nmassive scale. This may be one of the largest operations of its kind\never conducted in Indonesia,\u201d said BMKG Head Teuku Faisal Fathani in\nJakarta.<\/p>\n<p>Fathani stated that nine aircraft are actively flying missions over\nCentral and South Kalimantan, while six are operating in South Sumatra\nto induce artificial rainfall across high-risk fire zones.<\/p>\n<p>Favorable cloud formation potential is expected to persist in Central\nKalimantan through Friday, while South Sumatra is projected to\nexperience increased cloud density beginning Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Executed under direct orders from President Prabowo Subianto, the\njoint initiative coordinates assets from the BMKG, the National Disaster\nManagement Agency (BNPB), the Forestry Ministry, and the Indonesian\nNational Armed Forces.<\/p>\n<p>To guide ongoing containment strategies, the BMKG has generated\nweekly risk maps through late November to identify priority subdistricts\nfacing severe wildfire threats.<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Fathur Rochman, Cindy Frishanti Octavia<\/p>",
