Nagasaki honors atomic bomb victims, calls for peace

People in Japan gathered to pray at Nagasaki Peace Park on Wednesday to mark 78 years since the US military dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki.The city remains the last place to suffer a nuclear attack. Survivors, known as "hibakusha," say world leaders need to do more to keep it that way.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida did not attend in person, but instead delivered a pre-recorded address. He said Japan will play a leading role toward nuclear weapons abolition with the Group of Seven and at the United Nations. As part of the ceremony, Nagasaki registered 3,314 new names of atomic bomb victims. That brings the total number of deaths linked to the bombing to 195,607. The average age of survivors now stands at over 85.
