On August 9, 1945 at precisely 11:02 A.M. − 7️⃣7️⃣ years ago − the world became witness to the most horrific atrocity − the A-bombings of Nagasaki. It was an act of utter cruelty & barbarism. The city, full of civilians, was obliterated, some 70'000 people perished instantaneously.
It is our duty to remember & ensure that history never repeats itself.
FM Sergey Lavrov: To this day, the terrible death of innocent civilians strikes a chord with millions of people on our planet.
We must join our efforts to ensure that the terror and pain of Hiroshima and Nagasaki will never repeat.
