The newspaper Le Figaro reported today, Monday, that a fire broke out on board France's only nuclear aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle.

The newspaper cited the regional maritime command for the Mediterranean, stating that the fire erupted while the ship was docked in France's main military port - the Toulon military port, for maintenance work.

The regional maritime command reported that the fire has been extinguished, without mentioning any injuries or material losses during the incident.

Last July, the ship (the aircraft carrier) returned to its base in Toulon after its deployment in the Middle East.

The newspaper added: "The fire broke out on Monday, October 5, on board the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle after gas cutting operations."
