10,000 troops sent to fight fires
Indonesia said on Friday it will send more than 10,000 troops to fight seasonal fires in southern Sumatra, as smoke makes thousands sick, delays flights and pushes air quality to unhealthy levels in neighboring Singapore and Malaysia. Singapore Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen said that Indonesia has accepted Singapore's help to combat the haze.
