An unofficial waterway crossing between Cambodia and Vietnam in Takeo province has been temporarily closed after a violent clash between Vietnamese fishermen and Cambodian Fishery Administration officials last Friday left two Vietnamese dead and a Cambodian injured.

The clash erupted after Cambodian authorities discovered fishermen from Vietnam using illegal electric-shock fishing devices.

“The temporary shutdown is to improve the security, order and regulation in the area,” said Yorng Thoeun, chief of staff of Borei Cholsar district, referring to the Chey Chork River, which serves as a border crossing for agricultural and other goods.
