At least 22 people have been killed after a powerful explosion tore the façade from Saratoga hotel in the Cuban capital of Havana. Video on Twitter has captured the moment when the hotel blew off, sending plumes of dust into the air and leaving rubble strewn across the street in the historic centre of Havana. Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel has said that the explosion at Hotel Saratoga appears to have been caused by a gas leak. More than 70 people were injured in the powerful explosion. International singers Madonna and Beyoncé have both stayed at the five-star hotel back in 2013. Watch this video for more details.
