Sources and witnesses in Hodeida province said that al-Houthi militia buried 30 bodies of its fighters buried under a land tunnel previously dug by militias in the front of the university.

The sources added that 30 militiamen were buried inside a booby-trapped tunnel to which they fled at night from artillery shelling by joint forces on Houthi positions in response to Houthi attacks on joint forces positions.

The tunnel exploded, causing a loud bang that was heard in far-flung areas of Hodeidah last night.

The sources did not say whether the explosion was the result of an artillery shell fired by the joint forces that fell into the tunnel or the explosion of the network of mines planted inside the tunnel with militia elements.
