Pirates hijack Saudi tanker

(CNN) -- Pirates have hijacked a tanker that sailed under a Saudi flag, authorities said Wednesday.

The pirates struck in the Gulf of Aden, a body of water between Somalia and Yemen, the European Union Naval Force said in a statement. The Al Nisr Al Saudi was en route to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with a crew of 14, when pirates hijacked it Monday, the statement said. The ship's master is Greek; the crew's nationality has not been confirmed, but they are believed to be well, the statement said.
