Electric wires explode unexpectedly in Phnom Penh street

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. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Phnom Penh: A pillar of light passed through a stream of fire, causing a shock to the people living and selling nearby at 09:00pm on November 21, 2017, near the Kuung Hong factory, Preah Monivong Blvd The Stung Treng, Khan Chamkar Mon, when some electric cables caught fire in the street.
A noodle vendor, who was right by the wires when the explosion happened, said that people were sitting enjoying their noodles when some huge sparks fired out of a nearby tree, causing a big surprise for the customers and nearby people. Everyone came out to look at the unusual fireworks display.

However, no harm done; the fire was reported to the authorities and was soon extinguished. The Cambodia Electricity company came to check the damage and reported that there was minimum damage to the electrical street wiring and nothing to worry about. Phnom Penh residents can be reassured that everything is safe as houses.

PHNOM PENH - An electric cable fire broke out after 10 pm on March 24, at Mao Ze Tung Blvd, Street 230, in Teuk Laak III, Khan Kolok, Phnom Penh.
Spectators in the street were treated to a free sound and light show as the electric wiring caught fire above their heads and created a small explosion. Police and firemen were on the scene rapidly, the danger was contained, and there were no injuries.
