The ceremony celebrates the 80th anniversary of atomic bombing

A minute of silence took place in Hiroshima on Wednesday during a ceremony until 80 years old since the United States missed an atomic bomb on the Japanese city.

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba attended the ceremony and called on all countries to work for nuclear disarmament.

“We have to make every effort to realize a world without a nuclear war and, in the end, a world without nuclear weapons,” Ishiba told the audience in the Hiroshima Memorial Park.

The bombs descended into Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed over 200,000 people – some of the immediate explosion and others from radiation disease and burns.
