 Around 500 participants, including Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, have gathered at Nagasaki Peace Park to commemorate the 76th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing. Participants warm must and maintain social distancing at a downscaled event that was held amid the on-going coronavirus epidemic. At 8.15 am on August 6, 1945, a bomb nicknamed Little Boy was dropped by the U.S. B-29 warplane Inola Gay and obliterated the city of Hiroshima. Three days after the Hiroshima attack on August 9, the United States dropped another atomic bomb on Nagasaki, southern Japan. The city estimates that around 210,000 people were killed by the attacks, leaving more than 150,000 injured.
