A fire at a nightclub in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, killed at least two staff members and injured five others on Wednesday morning.

The blaze started at around 10:30am at the Midnight Premier Club in the Dangkor district of the capital city. Flames quickly spread to rooms attached to the hotel, where staff and guests can sleep instead of driving home.

Colonel Sam Vichhika, Spokesman at the Phnom Penh Municipal Police, confirmed that two men died and five other men were seriously injured in the inferno.

He said that firefighters took more than three hours to extinguish the flames.

Government officer Suong Samol said: 'Authorities have yet to determine the cause of the fire that destroyed the Midnight Premier Club.

'According to the police investigation, the fires could have been caused by welders who were hired by the owner of club to fix metal inside the club on Wednesday morning. But as soon as the fire started, the welders fled.

'Police have summoned the owner of the club for questioning over the fire and about the identity of the welders.'
