PERTH: A mini-submarine making its second dive in the hunt for Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370 encountered a “technical difficulty” and resurfaced Wednesday, officials said, after the first mission was also aborted.

“The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, Bluefin-21, was forced to resurface this morning to rectify a technical issue,” Australia's Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) said.
