A U.S. Air Force B-2 stealth bomber sustained damage on Dec. 10 after a fire broke out following an emergency landing at Missouri’s Whiteman Air Force Base (AFB), officials say, noting that nobody was injured in the mishap.
In a statement to the War Zone, a spokesperson from the 509th Bomb Wing said the heavy strategic bomber, which is capable of carrying nuclear weapons, “experienced an in-flight malfunction” during a routine exercise.
