Indonesia closes Mount Bromo National Park due to spreading wildfire
Indonesia has closed Mount Bromo National Park in East Java to all tourists as a wildfire continues to spread across the popular destination. The blaze, which began on Monday, has burned more than 170 hectares - nearly triple the area affected as of Thursday.

Water bombing helicopters and drones have been deployed to combat the flames. Visitors who booked tickets online can reschedule or seek refunds. Mount Bromo, an active volcano renowned for its vast sand sea caldera, remains a major tourist attraction. No casualties have been reported and the cause of the fire is still unknown.
