In the deadly explosion at a hotel in Havana, a total of 25 people lost their lives, and dozens received major injuries.
Reportedly, the leak of the natural gas has caused the blast in the 96-room hotel. However, it has under renovation and didn’t consist of any guests. The area in the hotel was occupied during the explosion.
The deceased has also included four children and one pregnant woman. Havan’s hotel is known as one of the ultra-luxurious hotels and also features various high-profile guests, which include Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and high-ranking US government officials.
The hotel of Havana was scheduled to reopen on Tuesday as it has been under renovation for the past seven months.
