This breaking news story will be updated as more information becomes available.
HAGATNA, Guam - The Air Force says a B-2 stealth bomber crashed on Guam, but the two pilots ejected safely.
"They have been evaluated by medical authorities and are in good condition," the Air Force said in a statement. An Air Force spokeswoman was not immediately available for further details.
KUAM TV news reported that the crash happened at around 10:45 a.m. Saturday at Anderson Air Force Base. Residents in the nearby town of Yigo reported seeing large plumes of black smoke coming from the base, the TV station reported.
Guam Fire Department's Angel Llagas told KUAM that a large explosion was reported to the island's 911 service and two units responded to the call.
Each B-2 bomber costs about $1.2 billion to build. All 21 stealth bombers are based at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri but the Air Force has been rotating several of them along with B-1 and B-52 bombers through Guam since 2004.
The rotations are designed to boost the U.S. security presence in the Asia-Pacific region while other U.S. forces are diverted to fight in the Middle East.
