US deploys B-2 stealth bombers: In what comes as a massive show of force, the Pentagon has made the largest-ever deployment of at least 6 B-2 bombers in the Indian Ocean, CNN reports. The deployment has been made at the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia amid tensions with Iran and Houthis in the Middle East. Satellite images show the B-2s, which cost approximately USD 2 billion apiece, stationed on the tarmac of the airbase.
