A mob of more than 100 Cambodian Buddhists has trashed a Christian church during a Sunday mass in the remote southeast of the country causing "small casualties", officials have said.
Hun Neng, governor Svey Rieng province said the mob rampaged through the church, at Kok Pring, smashing windows, lights and ditching bibles into ponds of water.
"Yesterday, there were more than a hundred of people who went on the rampage and hit the Christian church during mass," he said.
He said the mob accused the Christians of looking down on Buddhists but authorities had deployed police to the area, which prevented the mob from razing the building.
"The attack caused small casualties," he said, adding that no further details were available.
Cambodia has experienced a rise in religious tensions since Christian evangelists began moving here once this country began emerging out of communism in 1989.
Hun Neng said no formal complaint had been received from the church.
