Η Ιαπωνία τίμησε την 65η επέτειο του βομβαρδισμού της Χιροσίμα, με τις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες να εκπροσωπούνται στην τελετή για πρώτη φορά. Η καμπάνα της ειρήνης κτύπησε στις 8.15 το πρωί, την ώρα που το βομβαρδιστικό Enola Gay έριξε τη βόμβα, στις 6 Αυγούστου 1945. "Αυτό που διαπερνά τη συνείδηση της παγκόσμιας γνώμης είναι η επείγουσα ανάγκη να καταργηθούν τα πυρηνικά όπλα", δήλωσε ο δήμαρχος της Χιροσίμα. Ο απολογισμός εκείνης της έκρηξης ήταν στα τέλη του 1945 140.000 νεκροί, έναντι συνολικού πληθυσμού 350.000 κατοίκων της πόλης.
