Japan marks 81 years since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, remembering the victims of the devastating 1945 attack. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi attends Nagasaki's annual Peace Memorial Ceremony, as the city commemorates those killed when the United States dropped the atomic bomb, code-named Fat Man, on August 9, 1945. The bombing came just three days after Hiroshima and killed around 74,000 people. Japan later announced its surrender on August 15, following the atomic bombings and the Soviet invasion of Manchuria. The solemn anniversary comes amid renewed global concerns over nuclear weapons, war and the growing threat of nuclear escalation worldwide today. #Nagasaki #NagasakiAtomicBombing #Hiroshima #Japan #AtomicBomb #WWII #PeaceMemorial #NuclearWeapons #JapanSurrender #WorldWarII #NuclearThreat #BreakingNews Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
