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.

Cambodia Breaking News (Battambang): 54 cases of bullets were found at the border of 39TV 163 635, in Ou village, Phnom Prek district, Battambang.
On August 4, at 11:50 am, the police of Phnom Prek district, led by lieutenant Sarath Viseth, went to inspect the find. There were three types of bullets: 9 cases of RPK, 1 case of AK47, 44 cases of 12.7. They were stuck in the ground, so the police weren't able to dig by hand.

The lieutenant confirmed that the 54 cases of bullets were left from the war. The location was close to the line of Cambodia Thailand border. Many weapons were hidden in the war, but their locations were forgotten, or people moved or died.

Big deal. You could find munitions like that in every respectable Americans spare room.

Type 77 or W85 Chinese, or DShK Soviet bloc rounds. They all look decayed and useless.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
