Ignorant Parisian article covering a military conflict (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unaware

'ignorant' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'parisian article covering a military conflict' is the wordplay.
'parisian article' becomes 'une' (I've seen this in another clue).
'covering' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'military conflict' becomes 'war'.
'a'+'war'='awar'
'une' placed around 'awar' is 'UNAWARE'.

(Other definitions for unaware that I've seen before include "Unknowing" , "Lacking knowledge (of a situation or fact)" , "Not having knowledge or realisation" , "Not congnisant (of)" , "Without knowledge" .)
