Pirates have seized a Danish sailboat with four adults and three children on board, Denmark's government said Monday.

The ship was hijacked Thursday while traveling through the Indian Ocean and is now on its way to Somalia, Denmark's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Charlotte Slente told DR News, a national TV News channel in Denmark.

A Danish couple, their three children -- aged 12-16 -- and two crew members were on board.
