"A terrorist with a suicide bomber belt detonated the explosive on the al-Asi square in Hama. There are victims and the wounded, the numbers are being clarified," the police told RIA Novosti.
Meanwhile, a Hama police source told Syrian state news agency SANA that a second suicide bomber blew himself up just 15 minutes after the suicide bomber attack in the al-Asi square.
Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with government forces loyal to President Bashar Assad fighting numerous opposition groups, as well as terrorist formations.
