BENGALURU, India, Aug 23, 2023 (AFP) – India’s lunar spacecraft landed safely near the Moon’s little-explored south pole on Wednesday, sparking wild celebrations and applause among technicians guiding the mission.

“Chandrayaan-3 has successfully soft-landed on the Moon,” the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced at its headquarters.  India Moon landing is “historic day”, says PM Narendra Modi.
