"We learn with sadness the death of Captain Sébastien Mabire and Lieutenant Matthis Laurens in an air accident in a Rafale training mission," Macron posted on X. "The nation shares the grief of their families and brothers in arms at Air Base 113 in Saint-Dizier" in eastern France, he added. "One of the pilots was found safe and sound," Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu said earlier on X. It was not immediately clear what caused the collision that authorities said occurred over Colombey-les-Belles, a town in northeastern France. "The military authorities will report on the causes of the accident," said the local prefecture. The supersonic Rafale "multi-role" fighter – used to hunt enemy planes, strike ground and sea targets, carry out reconnaissance and even carry France's nuclear warheads – has become a bestseller for the French arms industry. Accidents involving Rafale jets are rare. In December 2007, a Rafale jet crashed near Neuvic in southwestern France. Investigators concluded that the pilot had become disorientated. That was believed to be the first crash of a Rafale. In September 2009, two Rafale aircraft went down as they flew back to the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle off the coast of Perpignan after completing a test flight. One pilot died.
