US Air Force B-2 stealth bombers have returned to Keflavik in Iceland for the first time since 2021.
It's the first deployment since B-2 bombers resumed flying after a five-month safety stand down.
The deployment is the first one since the stealth bomber fleet returned to normal operations on May 22, 2023, after a five-month safety stand down following the incident in December last year.
