Aug 6 and 9 are days of mourning for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On Aug 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Three days later, it dropped a second one on Nagasaki. Japan surrendered in World War II on Aug 15.

The atomic bombs incinerated buildings and people, leaving lifelong physical and psychological scars on the survivors and the cities.

Since being re-elected Japan's prime minister in December 2012, Shinzo Abe has attended the two cities' annual observation days every year. At the latest gathering in Hiroshima, he said Japan will "continue to make ... efforts to bring about a world free of nuclear weapons by calling for cooperation from both nuclear weapons and non-nuclear weapons' states".
