Russia has reported that its Luna-25 spacecraft which launched earlier this month has crashed into the moon.
The unmanned robot lander crashed after it spun into uncontrolled orbit, Russia’s space corporation Roskosmos reported on Sunday.
It comes after the country reported an “abnormal situation” that its specialists were analysing on Saturday.
The mission was the country’s first to the lunar surface in almost 50 years.
