Fighter jet crashes in France, killing at least one

The crew consisted of a fighter pilot and a weapons systems officer from the French Air and Space Force. 

The body of one crew member has been recovered but not yet identified and a search for the second crew member is ongoing.

The aircraft had taken off from the Nancy-Ochey Air Base and was returning from a night-flight training mission, according to the base commander.

An investigation into the cause of the crash, near the village of Rogéville, has begun.

The Mirage 2000D is a two-seat supersonic fighter-bomber designed mainly for strikes against ground targets in complex environments.
