An early morning fire broke out in Phnom Penh’s Phsar Chas
market early Monday, destroying an estimated 70 percent of its 900
stalls.
Phsar Chas – which translates to ‘Old Market’ – is located in the Daun Penh district of the Cambodian capital.
This dramatic footage – posted by photographer John Vink (@vinkjohn) on YouTube – shows the extent of the blaze and firefighters’ attempts to control it. He has also posted a gallery on his website.
