DAMASCUS, July 1 (Xinhua) -- A booby-trapped car went off Monday in the country's central city of Hama, causing undisclosed number of casualties, according to the state-run SANA news agency.

The blast struck near a culture center in the town of Saboura in the countryside of Hama, SANA said, spelling no further details on the death toll.

Syria's conflict started with largely peaceful protests against President Bashar al-Assad's regime in March 2011 but eventually turned into a civil war, killing tens of thousands of Syrians.

SANA said the Syrian troops have restored security and stability to the al-Ain farmlands in the al-Qariaten area in the central Homs province.
