An electrical fault is believed to have caused a massive fire that tore through a hotel and casino in the Cambodian border town of Poipet, killing 26 people and leaving more than 60 injured, the country’s disaster management agency said.
The fire, which started at about midnight on Wednesday (17:00 GMT), was finally put out at 2pm (07:00 GMT) on Thursday. Videos posted on social media showed people falling from a roof after they became trapped by the blaze at the Grand Diamond City complex.
