KLHK Detects 564 Hotspots in Indonesia, Most in South Papua (Thursday, 18 June 2026)
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring over the past 24 hours recorded 564 detected hotspots across Indonesia. This figure increased by 92 points compared to the previous period.
The data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Thursday (18/6/2026) at 11.39 WIB. Of the 564 detected hotspots: 4 had high confidence level, 549 medium confidence, 11 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is divided into 3 tiers: low (0-29), medium (30-79), high (80-100). Higher hotspot confidence indicates greater probability of active forest and land fires in the area.

South Papua recorded the highest hotspots at 104, followed by Central Sulawesi (48) and West Nusa Tenggara (42).
East Java detected 40 hotspots, South Sumatra 39, while South Kalimantan and South Sulawesi recorded 34 and 29 hotspots respectively.
Hotspots are coordinate points with above-average surface temperature; they do not equal the total number of fire incidents.
However, clustered high-volume hotspot signals indicate ongoing forest and land fire activity. Satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective method for large-area fire monitoring.
