Meanwhile, UK media reported that three Northrop-Grumman B-2 Spirit bombers landed at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire this morning.

The Gloucestershire airbase, which is run by the United States Air Force is one of a select few places where the top-secret planes can land due to its long runway and specially built climate-controlled B2 hangers.
