A massive fire that tore through a hotel and casino in the Cambodian border town of Poipet has killed at least 16 people and injured about 50, according to an official, while other victims were apparently not yet accounted for.
Videos posted on social media showed people falling from a roof after they were trapped by the blaze at the Grand Diamond City complex. Many of those inside, both customers and staff, were from neighbouring Thailand, which sent firetrucks to help fight the flames.
