A French fighter jet carrying two pilots has disappeared from radar screens near the Swiss border.
A French air force spokeswoman said the Mirage 2000D was last detected in a snow-covered mountainous area between the Doubs and Jura regions.
She said a search is underway for signs of the plane.
The jet took off shortly after 11am local time from the Nancy-Ochey airbase in north-east France.
