A second helicopter crash in four days occurred in Indonesia during water-bombing operations to combat forest fires. On November 8, 2026, an Airbus Helicopters H225 Super Puma crashed into the Barito River in South Kalimantan, with two Australian crew members rescued and one Indonesian missing. This incident follows another crash on November 4, where a Mil Mi-17V5 helicopter crashed near Tanjung Puting National Park, killing three Indonesian Army personnel. Both crashes are under investigation.
