Electrical Fault Burns Down Sihanoukville Building

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.

HE Kouch Chamroeun, Governor of Preah Sihanouk province, went directly to the scene to command the firefighters. According to the report of the provincial police, the fire force took nearly two hours to extinguish the blaze, using two fire trucks and 14 tanks of water.

There's a 30A circuit breaker on the pole. It'll be the wiring or a socket that caught fire.
