India launches rocket for Controlled Lunar Landing

India has successfully launched the unmanned spacecraft, Chandrayaan-3, marking its potential to become the fourth nation to achieve a controlled lunar landing. The spacecraft, developed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), is set to collect data and conduct experiments on the Moon. The $75 million mission follows India’s earlier lunar expeditions: Chandrayaan-1, which discovered water molecules on the Moon, and Chandrayaan-2, which failed to land despite entering lunar orbit. Chandrayaan-3 is anticipated to land on the Moon’s south pole between August 23-24.

Andriy Portnov, former aide to ex-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, was shot dead in Madrid’s upscale Pozuelo de Alarcon district. Spanish authorities say unidentified gunmen opened fire as the 52-year-old was dropping off his children at school, striking him in the back and head before fleeing.

Portnov, a former MP and lawyer, fled Ukraine with Yanukovych in 2014, briefly returned in 2019, and was later sanctioned by the U.S. for alleged judicial corruption.
