Three journalists have been arrested for allegedly illegally flying a drone over Paris, according to the city's prosecutors' office.
In a statement, the office said three foreign nationals aged 70, 54 and 36 - all believed to work for Al-Jazeera - have been taken into custody after officers spotted the drone flying in the Bois de Boulogne woods in the western part of the city.
An investigation has been launched after unauthorised drones were spotted flying over Paris for a second night in a row.
Five drones were seen last night in addition to the five spotted a night earlier, local media reported.
Stephane Le Foll, a spokesman for the French government, said the drones were not a security risk and told a press conference: "There is nothing to worry about.
"Drone have been spotted and investigations launched .... We are mobilised on a matter which is, and should, be taken seriously."
Paris has remained on a state of high alert following last month's attacks on the offices of Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket by Islamist extremists.
