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.

They look like Soviet 122mm howitzer rounds.

Unexploded bombs found at Pursat school
Pursat: It was an unpleasant surprise for the staff and pupils when 160 bombs left over from the war were found at HE Kngan Secondary School in Kondeang District, Pursat.
The school was evacuated while the CMAC (Cambodian Mine Action Centre) team did a bomb search on the school grounds. The demining team found 159 exploded bombs, and 3 that were unexploded. They continued to search the school grounds for three days to be sure that it was safe for pupils to return to school.
