The unidentified Mission Control spokesman said after docking with the orbiting station, the cargo craft delivered more than 2.3 tons of supplies to station personnel, RIA Novosti reported.

Among the supplies were fuel, food and water to maintain the ISS Expedition 17 crew's operations.

Russian cosmonauts Sergei Volkov and Oleg Kononenko are among those on duty at the space station, the Russian news agency said.

RIA Novosti said this week's delivery followed a 2.5 metric ton shipment in February and another delivery of more than 7.5 metric tons in April.
