Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else.

Tiger Balm was sent to the scene by the competent authorities to treat any victims.
By the look of the photos it would appear someone has stored DG in the cargo bay of at least one bus. Leaking gas cylinder?

2 or 3 locals were injured. I assume a gas bottle in the luggage room, that wasn't closed properly.
Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to only one life and the inability to restart, once Game Over

Now the competent authorities are saying it was a fire in the engine.

However looking at the photos it appears more like an explosion in the luggage compartment.

I don’t see much (if any) fire damage. And what kind of fire doesn’t burn the seats but can be heard from 5 kilometers away?

But who am I to doubt the competent Khmer authorities?
