Officials in the Japanese city of Hiroshima held a ceremony on Thursday morning to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the first atomic bomb attack.

On Aug. 6 and Aug. 9, 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs, the first in the city of Hiroshima and the second in Nagasaki, resulting in the deaths of between 129,000 and 226,000 people.

Japan surrendered to the Allies on Aug. 15, six days after the bombing of Nagasaki. On Sept. 2, the Japanese government officially signed an agreement formalizing their surrender, effectively ending the Second World War.
