 A Russian cargo ship carrying supplies for the International Space Station (ISS) blasted off Tuesday from the Baikonour cosmodrome, Russian state television pictures showed.

The Progress M-66 cargo ship blasted off on a Soyuz rocket from the Russian-operated cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at around 0550 GMT. It is due to dock with the ISS at 0719 GMT on Friday.

The Interfax news agency quoted Russia's space control centre as saying the ship was carrying around two-and-a-half tonnes of cargo, including more than one tonne of fuel.

Other supplies include oxygen, hygienic materials, food and clothes as well as new electrical equipment.
