Greek vessel attacked by missile in the Red Sea off the coast
It is thought to be the third incident involving Zografia, a bulk carrier, in 24 hours.
Tuesday's incident comes as the US military announced it had seized Iranian-supplied weapons bound for the Houthis during an operation last week.
Meanwhile, the US has hit more targets in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.
American partner that the US conducted further strikes on Houthi positions overnight.
Four anti-ship ballistic missiles that were ready to be launched were destroyed, the official said.
The US and UK launched a wave of airstrikes against dozens of Houthi targets on 11 January following attacks by the Iran-backed group on shipping in the Red Sea.
It is not yet known what was attacked in the latest US operation.
The Houthis have vowed to retaliate.
On Sunday, the US said it had shot down a missile fired towards one of its warships from a Houthi area of Yemen.
While it has not yet been confirmed that the Houthis carried out Tuesday's attack on the Greek-owned vessel, it appears to follow a similar pattern of strikes.
The movement's fighters have targeted several vessels since November in protest at Israel's war with Hamas.
The Houthis say they are targeting vessels which are Israeli-owned, flagged or operated or are heading to Israeli ports. However, many have no connections with Israel.
The Zografia, which was empty, was sailing from Vietnam to Israel with 24 crew onboard when it was struck on Tuesday, Greek shipping ministry sources have told the media.
