A United States Air Force B-52 Stratofortress bomber crashed shortly after taking off from Edwards Air Force Base on Monday, prompting an emergency response from military and rescue personnel.
Officials at the base confirmed that emergency crews were immediately dispatched to the crash site, but details about the cause of the accident and the condition of those on board were not immediately available.
The B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range strategic bomber capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear weapons. The aircraft has been used in several major military operations, including conflicts in Vietnam, the Gulf region, Iraq, Afghanistan, and more recent missions involving tensions with Iran.
Television footage showed firefighters battling flames and smoke on a section of the runway following the crash.
Located north of Los Angeles, Edwards Air Force Base is one of the largest military airfields in the world and serves as a major center for flight testing and military aviation operations.
Authorities said investigations are underway, and further information is expected as emergency teams continue work at the scene.
