Japan is marking 80 years since the United States dropped the first nuclear weapon ever used in war on the city of Hiroshima. Bells rang out at a sunrise ceremony at Hiroshima’s Peace Park, honoring the 140,000 people killed by the U.S. bombing on August 6, 1945. Three days later, at least 70,000 people died when the U.S. dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki. We’ll have more on the 80th anniversary of the U.S. nuclear attacks later in the broadcast.
