CGTN

Niger's military leaders on Wednesday accused France of breaching a ban on the country's air space.

A French military aircraft "deliberately cut off all contact with air traffic control on entering our air space," from 6:39-11:15 a.m. (0539-1015 GMT) on Wednesday, the regime said in a statement read on national TV.

The French side has not yet responded to the claim.
