Big fire .. old market i think

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.

Yes, it was corner Streets 118 and 15, virtually opposite my place. I wasn't home but got alerted to it in time to return and see the fire being put out, and all the rooftop shacks destroyed. A lot of people who didn't have much to begin with just lost everything they had. I only hope everyone got out alive. I feel devastated just witnessing this. Horrific.
