JERUSALEM (AP) — A Malta-flagged bulk carrier sustained damage from a missile fired at it in the Red Sea. That’s according to Greek officials Tuesday. Though no group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, suspicion immediately fell on Yemen’s Houthi rebels. The Greek Shipping and Island Policy Ministry said the Zografia had been heading north to the Suez Canal when it was attacked. The ship had no cargo on board and sustained only material damage, the ministry said. The crew includes 20 Ukrainians, three Filipinos and one Georgian.
