Yemen’s Houthi movement have targeted the Zografia ship that was heading to Israel with naval missiles which resulted in a “direct hit,” the group’s military spokesperson Yahya Sarea says in a statement.

The Malta-flagged, Greek-owned bulk carrier sustained material damage but no injuries after it was hit in the Red Sea near the Yemeni port of Saleef, a security firm and two Greek shipping ministry sources say.
