Big winds cause damage in Phnom Penh

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.

Daun Penh District in Phnom Penh saw some material damage today as high winds lifted a billboard which crashed on to the road, causing slight injuries to a passing Korean national on a motorbike.

GT: The wind blowing bonnet at the point of close proximity to the wicket of Sokimex along Street No. 217 did not cause any casualties, but resulted in a completely damaged car. Traffic is jamming at the scene.

At least one motorcyclist was quite badly injured when a tree fell on the road.
