On this day in 1945 the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, killing 140,000 people. Three days later they bombed Nagasaki, killing another 70,000. In Hiroshima survivors, their relatives and other participants marked the 8:15 a.m. blast with a minute of silence. The Hiroshima anniversary ceremony came hours after North Korea launched suspected ballistic missiles in its fourth round of recent weapons demonstrations.
