Argentina took through Russia in search of a military submarine that went missing in the South Atlantic ocean a week ago.

The representative of the Navy, captain Enrique Balbi, said that the search has now entered a “critical phase” amid fears that the oxygen level may fall.

He later told Argentine reporters that the Navy studied the reports of a loud noise, discovered in the area a few hours after the submarine disappeared.
