A B-52H Stratofortress crashed around 8:30 a.m. on Andersen Air Force Base's flight line, the base's public affairs office has confirmed.
All seven crew members safely exited the aircraft. No injuries have been reported. Emergency responders are on scene, according to Andersen's public affairs.
The B-52 was deployed to Andersen from Minot Air Force Base, in North Dakota, as part of the military's continuous bomber presence mission in the Pacific.
The crew members are from the 69th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron and were performing a routine training mission, according to Andersen.
The incident is under investigation and measures to mitigate possible environmental impacts are being taken, Andersen stated. More information will be released as it becomes available.
It's the second crash involving a B-52 in Guam in eight years.
In July 2008, a B-52 crashed into the ocean about 35 miles northwest of the island, killing all six flight crew on board, according to an Air Force investigation report.
