Syria's army says lost control of key central city of Hama

Syria's army acknowledged Thursday it had lost control of the strategic central city of Hama for the first time since war broke out in 2011, amid a lighting rebel offensive.

"Over the past few hours, with the intensification of confrontations between our soldiers and terrorist groups [...] these groups were able to breach a number of axes in the city and entered it," a statement from the army said, adding that "military units stationed there have redeployed" outside the city.
