Japan observed the 81st anniversary of the Nagasaki atomic bombing on August 9, 2026, remembering the victims of the 1945 attack.
The United States dropped the atomic bomb “Fat Man” on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, during World War II.
Fat Man was a plutonium-based implosion-type nuclear bomb, while the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was the uranium-based “Little Boy.”
The Nagasaki bomb had an explosive power of about 21 kilotons of TNT and caused massive destruction and loss of life.
Nuclear bombs release enormous energy through nuclear fission or fusion, producing a powerful blast, intense heat and radiation.
