SEOUL, September 16 (AJP) - A travel advisory was issued for some parts of Cambodia amid a rise in employment scams and detentions involving South Korean nationals, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Tuesday.

The advisory includes a special travel warning for Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville, Bokor Mountain in Kampot Province, and Bavet, a border town in Svay Rieng province.

The ministry urged South Koreans planning to visit these areas to cancel or postpone their trips. Those currently in the affected regions are advised to relocate to safer areas.

"We will continue to closely monitor the situation in Cambodia and determine whether any further adjustments are necessary," the ministry said.
