It also pointed out that the preliminary investigation indicates that the explosion in the hotel in central Havana was caused by a gas leak.

The death toll after the explosion that destroyed the Saratoga hotel in Havana on Friday increased to eight, the Cuban presidential administration said.

The hotel was meant to reopen on May 10, post-pandemic; no visitors were staying at the hotel when the explosion occurred.

The blast severely damaged the front part of the building up to the fifth floor, including several buildings in its vicinities.
