US strategic B-1 bombers have taken off from their bases in the United Kingdom after midnight on Sunday, local time, as tensions in the Middle East rose again amid the Saudi Arabia-Houthi conflict and the standoff with Iran.
According to footage that surfaced online, the bombers were spotted departing the runway at RAF Fairford in southern England, but their destination remained unknown. Earlier, the US State Department issued alerts for multiple countries across the Middle East, warning of a potential escalation of hostilities involving Houthis and Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump appeared to cut short his stay at Camp David and headed back to Washington DC.
