PARIS: A French Mirage 2000D fighter jet crashed in northeastern France during a training flight, killing both crew members, officials said on Wednesday.
The plane went down at 2100 GMT on Tuesday near its air base on the outskirts of the city of Nancy.
During a press briefing in Doha, where he is on a visit, President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday expressed "the nation's condolences".
Neither the pilot, aged 27, nor his 44-year-old navigator had time to eject before the aircraft hit the ground, Metz prosecutor David Touvet told AFP on Wednesday evening.
