Meanchey district police chief Teng Sino said the explosion occurred at about 1.30pm in Chak Angre Loeu commune.

He added that the company was using the boiler for work cutting and welding pieces of metal. “Three people suffered minor injuries, including one woman,” he said. “They are now being treated at the hospital.”

He noted that his police officers were still working to identify all the victims.

“The reason for the explosion was because they were careless with their work,” he said.

According to local news, one of the three people injured was a Chinese national named Lay Chong, 70, the owner of the workshop.
