At least 19 people have been reported killed and up to 30 were still missing on Thursday night after a fire broke out at a Cambodian casino-hotel complex in the border town of Poipet.
“There are 19 dead so far as we see bodies and bones,” said Sek Sokhom, director of the Banteay Meanchey provincial information department. He warned the figure “could be higher” because rescuers have not yet reached parts of the complex.
