Japan Lands a probe on the moon

I recently learned that Jaxa, the Japanese space agency had successfully landed a probe on the moon. The landing was on the 19th of January.
As far as I know, they have successfully released two rovers onto the surface. Japan is the 5th country to send objects to the moon. They claimed the landing had some issues.
