🇯🇵Japan marks 72 years since Hiroshima ☢atomic bomb💣

Japan suffered 2⃣ nuclear attacks at the end of the World War II by the 🇺🇸United States — in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and in Nagasaki 3⃣ days later.

Japan marked 72 years since the world's first nuclear attack on Hiroshima, with the nation's traditional contradictions over atomic weapons again coming into focus.

The anniversary came after Japan sided last month with nuclear powers Britain, France and the U.S. to dismiss a UN treaty banning atomic weapons, which was rejected by critics for ignoring the reality of security threats such as North Korea.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, speaking at the annual ceremony at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park near the ground zero, said Japan hoped to push for a world without nuclear weapons in a way that all countries can agree.
