The launch of a Russian Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft to the International Space Station was cancelled at the last minute on Thursday, according to a broadcast of the scheduled launch.
"There was an automatic launch cancellation," the flight controller said in a live stream broadcast by Russia's space agency Roscosmos, just seconds before the craft was due to take-off.
