Big Fire at Psar Chbar Ampouv

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.

Fire from an electrical malfunction destroyed hundreds of market stalls at Phnom Penh's Chbar Ampov market and damaged nearly a thousand more. The fire at the market in Chbar Ampov district on the city's east side was extinguished at about 3pm on Friday, about 15 hours after it started, according to Tep Bora, the police chief at Chbar Ampov 2 commune. The blaze totally destroyed 588 of the market's 1,400 stalls and the rest were damaged. “It was caused by electric malfunction at stalls from eastern side of the market,” Bora said. Heng
