A powerful explosion rocked Havana on Friday, destroying a historic five star hotel frequented by celebrities and diplomats, killing at least nine people and injuring more than 30.
A powerful explosion apparently caused by a gas leak killed at least 18 people, including a pregnant woman and a child, and injured dozens Friday when it blew away outer walls from a luxury hotel in the heart of Cuba's capital.
The hotel was first renovated in 2005 as part of the Cuban government’s revival of Old Havana.
