Pentagon Deploys B-2 Stealth Bombers In Diego Garcia Amid Growing Tensions In Asia-Pacific

The U.S. Air Force deployed three B-2 stealth bombers to an atoll in the Indian Ocean, according to reports on Wednesday. The deployment of bombers in Diego Garcia comes at a time of growing regional tensions in the Asia-Pacific.

The B-2 bombers have been deployed to “integrate and conduct training with ally and partner air forces,” U.S. Strategic Command said, according to reports. The exercises in the regions will be carried on until early April, officials reportedly said.
