Atmospheric neutrino-induced cascades are observed in the 79-string IceCube detector with the DeepCoreextension. Using 23 days of data, a high statistics sample shows an excess of cascades at 8.2 sigma, and with tighter cuts74 events are observed of which 62 % are predicted to be cascades. A full-year analysis is underway and a significantdetection of atmospheric electron neutrinos is expected.
