The French Ministry of the Armed Forces said on Wednesday that one person was killed and another was missing after a military plane crashed in northeastern France on Tuesday evening.

The ministry added that a Mirage 2000D plane belonging to the French Air Force crashed in the Morts-Moselle region, with two people on board.

The location of the plane's wreckage was determined using a drone, while great capabilities were harnessed from the gendarmerie forces and fire brigades to determine the exact location of the plane and enable rescue teams to intervene, according to information reported by French media about the French Air and Space Forces.

The Ministry also explained that "investigations are still ongoing to accurately determine the causes of the accident, while emphasizing the importance of the safety of pilots and military aircraft in the future."
