The death toll from a large explosion at the site of a historic hotel in Cuba's capital on Friday morning has risen to 35 as search crews continue to look for victims.

Four children, a pregnant woman, and a 29-year-old Spanish tourist are among the victims of the explosion at Hotel Saratoga in Havana, the Cuban Ministry of Health reported.

Eighty-nine other people were injured in the explosion, 20 of whom remain hospitalized as of Monday.

The explosion is believed to be an accident caused by a gas leak from a gas tanker parked outside of the hotel, according to BBC.

Photos of the aftermath show the facade of the hotel exposed with a large pile of rubble blown out into the street. Several other buildings sustained damage, including the Marti Theater and the Calvary Baptist Church.
