The return of China's Shenzhou-20 crewed spaceship, originally scheduled for Wednesday, will be postponed due to a suspected impact from tiny space debris, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) announced.

The impact analysis and risk assessment are under way, the CMSA said.

The decision to delay the return aims to ensure the astronauts' safety and mission success, the agency said.
