DEATH TOLL AT 27 IN HOTEL EXPLOSION

Rescuers remove debris from the ruins of the Saratoga Hotel on Saturday in Havana. Relatives of the missing desperately searched for victims of an explosion at one of Cuba’s most luxurious hotels, which killed at least 27 people. They checked the morgue and hospitals and, if unsuccessful, returned to the partially collapsed building, where rescuers used dogs to hunt for survivors. No guests were in the 19th- century structure at the time of Friday’s blast, apparently caused by a natural gas leak, because the hotel was undergoing renovations.
