Tonight i've found information that about 19:00 an Mirage 2000 is crashed at Haute-Saone close of the village Montcourt .
The pilot is ejected but wounded. There is not any information if there are more people injured.

This Mirage came from Base aérienne 116 Luxeuil-Saint Sauveu and was from the Groupe de Chasse 1/2 Cigognes.
