French soldiers killed in Central African Republic

Two French soldiers have been killed in combat in the Central African Republic, the French presidency says.

A statement said President Francois Hollande "learned with deep sadness" that the two had been killed overnight in the capital Bangui, SIA reports citing BBC News.

They are the first French deaths since President Hollande deployed 1,600 soldiers to the CAR last week.

The CAR has been in chaos since rebel leader Michel Djotodia ousted President Francois Bozize in March.
