HAVANA — A tornado ripped through eastern Havana late Sunday and early Monday, killing three people, injuring 174 others and battering the capital with powerful winds and heavy rains.

President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez announced the toll on Twitter, along with photographs of himself and rescue workers next to what appeared to be an overturned vehicle. Little information about the storm appeared in the state media.

Photos posted on Twitter by Cuban news outlets and Havana residents showed cars crushed by fallen lampposts and other trapped in floodwaters.
