Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft, the country's first mission to the moon since 1976, has sent back its first images from 192,625 miles beyond Earth.

Russia plans to land its science robot in the ice-rich lunar south pole in the coming weeks, while India's Chandrayaan-3 is also set to land on the moon's surface around the same time.
