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.

Poipet, Cambodia News: Two workers hit a mine while driving their farm vehicle on January 25, 2019, in Srolao village, Malai district, Banteay Meanchey. A 32-year-old man, Cham Chong, died instantly in the explosion and his co-worker, 23-year-old Tam Sok, was seriously injured.

The two men had taken a farming truck to cut wood in the forest to make charcoal. On the way home, they took a different route than usual and unfortunately their vehicle hit a mine that was hidden in the ground.

After the incident, the police went to the scene to help the victim and sent him to the Japanese Cambodia friendship hospital immediately. The body of the deceased was given to his family for funeral rites.
