An Italian military helicopter carrying up to eight people has crashed in north-eastern France with no survivors.

Police said the helicopter, one of two on its way from France to Belgium, went down in the eastern Meuse region between the towns of Lisles-en-Barrois and Vaubecourt.

An Italian Air Force spokesman said the search and rescue helicopter was conducting a training exercise over France and Belgium.
