French police urge residents fearful of an explosion not to call emergency services. FMTNews France Military FighterJet

French military jet Rafale, broke the sound barrier causing a sonic boom.

“A very loud noise was heard in Paris and in the Paris region. It was not an explosion, it was a fighter jet crossing the sound barrier,” Paris police said on Twitter, urging people to stop calling emergency phone lines. No detail was given on the type of aircraft or the nature of its difficulty. The spokesman said the fighter emitted its sonic boom over the east of Paris.

It was clearly heard during the French Open tennis tournament at Roland Garros, where star player Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland and his German opponent Dominik Koepfer paused in astonishment and apparent worry as the noise echoed around the stadium. Last Friday, two people were wounded in an attack by a man wielding a meat cleaver outside the former offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris.
