From wikipedia:

Powerplant: 1 × Pratt & Whitney F135-PW-100 afterburning turbofan, 28,000 lbf (125 kN) thrust dry, 43,000 lbf (191 kN) with afterburner

I don’t know whether the article was simply wrong, or whether there are intakes for the engine on each side. Based on pictures from the front, I suspect the latter.
