Nagasaki marked the 77th anniversary Tuesday of the U.S. atomic bombing of the southwestern Japan city during World War II, with Mayor Tomihisa Taue calling for the abolition of nuclear weapons amid mounting concern over their potential use following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. A moment of silence was observed at 11:02 a.m., the exact time on Aug. 9, 1945, when a plutonium bomb codenamed "Fat Man" dropped by a U.S. bomber exploded over the port city, only the second time a nuclear weapon has been used in war. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who represents a constituency in Hiroshima and has expressed readiness to work toward a world free of nuclear weapons, said, "Even in the midst of a severe security situation, we must continue our history of non-use of nuclear weapons and continue to make Nagasaki the site of the last atomic bombing."
