It's unclear what caused the accident. Authorities say the helicopters were carrying five people, all of whom were killed in the crash. However, French news agency, AFP, says a search is underway for a sixth person.

Both aircraft were from the Army’s School of Light Aviation (EALAT) in the nearby town of Cannet des Maures.
