Japan Marks 81st Anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Atomic Bombings
The 81st anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were commemorated with ceremonies attended by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and local officials. Nagasaki's mayor condemned nuclear weapons as "absolute evil" and criticized nuclear deterrence, urging Japan to uphold its postwar non-nuclear principles amid government plans to revise defense policy and enhance military capabilities. The bombings in August 1945 caused massive casualties and led to Japan's surrender, ending World War II.
