Abe sends offering, as 2 Cabinet ministers visit war-linked shrine

Undated photo shows Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Abe sent a ritual offering to the war-linked Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo on Aug. 15, 2015, the 70th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II. But Abe is likely to refrain from visiting the Shinto shrine himself during the day to limit any damage to Japan's ties with China and South Korea. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
