Nagasaki grieves 70 years on

Survivors of the US’s atomic bombing of Nagasaki, during World War 2, gathered to mark its 70th anniversary yesterday.

They attended the annual commemoration in the southern Japanese city, along with international guests and others.

They observed a moment of silence at 11.02am local time, which is when the bomb was dropped, killing 70,000 people and prompting Japan’s surrender.
