It’s a real drama in a party place. At least six people were killed in a nightclub fire in Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh on Saturday, police said.
The fire, which started in the early evening for reasons still undetermined, claimed the lives of four men and two women, said municipal police spokesman San Sok Seiha.
A still provisional assessment
It took several hours for firefighters to put out the flames, the spokesman said, adding that the police had not yet been able to enter the burnt-out building. “We don’t know yet if there are other victims,” he added.
In December, a fire in a casino hotel in Poipet, a border town with Thailand, killed 26 people. Authorities attributed it to an electrical short.
