69th anniversary of Hiroshima bombing

Hiroshima, the Japanese city that suffered US atomic bombing in 1945 during the World War II, commemorated the 69th anniversary of the bombing at the city's Peace Memorial Park.

Addressing survivors of the attack, their descendants, peace activists and officials, including Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and US Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy, Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui called nuclear weapons an "absolute evil" that robbed children of loving families and dreams for the future, reported Xinhua.
