A Russian mini-submarine that was trapped for nearly three days under the
Pacific Ocean surfaced Sunday after a British remote-controlled vehicle cut away
the undersea cables that had snarled it, news agencies reported.

The AS-28 made an emergency surfacing and appeared on
the water at around 4:26 p.m. local time, ITAR-Tass and RIA-Novosti reported.
The condition of the vessel's seven-member crew was not immediately known,
though naval officials had been in regular contact with the crew, who faced
dwindling oxygen and chilly temperatures.
