HAVANA (Reuters) -A residential building collapse in the Cuban capital of Havana on Tuesday night has killed at least three people, state media said on Wednesday.

The partial collapse of the three-story building in the Old Havana district popular with tourists gutted the insides of the decrepit building that was home to 13 families and 54 people. It tore terraces off its facade and trapped many people beneath piles of rubble in interior spaces of the structure.
