ATHENS -- A Greek-owned freighter was hit by a missile on Tuesday off Yemen's coasts, Greek national news agency AMNA reported, citing Greek shipping ministry sources.

The vessel ZOGRAFIA was hit while sailing in the Red Sea heading north, 76 nautical miles (141 km) northwest of the Yemeni port of Saleef.

According to early information, the freighter has sustained serious damage, which has not impaired the ship's seaworthiness for the time being, but no injuries have been reported.

The Malta-flagged bulk carrier has 24 crew members, whose nationalities are not yet known, according to the report.
