Ambassador Rahm Emanuel joins Japan’s prime minister in Hiroshima amid Russia nuke fears.
TOKYO — Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida escorted the U.S. ambassador to his hometown Hiroshima on Saturday to pay respects to atomic bombing victims and warned that the world is again facing threats of nuclear attacks stemming from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Aug. 6, 1945, atomic bombing by the United States killed about 140,000 people and nearly destroyed Hiroshima. Three days later, a second U.S. atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki killed 70,000 more, before Japan surrendered six days later. About 3,000 Russian troops were conducting drills on the disputed Kuril islands, according to media reports, first since Russia’s Foreign Ministry said it was suspending peace treaty talks with Japan, citing Tokyo’s sanctions against Moscow.
