The Argentine Navy says it has abandoned attempts to rescue 44 crew members on board a submarine that disappeared two weeks ago.

The sub, the ARA San Juan, last made contact on Wednesday 15 November.

Hopes of finding survivors faded after a suspected explosion was reported near its last‑known location.
