G7 foreign ministers on April 10 began two days of talks in Hiroshima, with John Kerry's visit to the atom-bombed city -- the first-ever by a US secretary of state -- overshadowing the broader agenda.
 

NASA has revealed that a huge meteor crashed into the Atlantic ocean earlier this month releasing energy equivalent to 13,000 tons of TNT.

The meteor exploded on February 6 at 14:00 UTC in the air 620 miles (1,000km) off the coast of Brazil, with the force equivalent to an atomic bomb, but no one noticed it.

For several days in September, the Bulgarian Black Sea city of Varna will be hosting a festival which was once a young and ambitious contender to become a key event in the world of animated movies.

Novinite has asked Japan's Ambassador to Bulgaria Takashi Koizumi to comment on international nuclear affairs and also on bilateral relations, in a month when the world marked the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.

Japan on August 9 marked the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki that claimed more than 74,000 lives almost instantly, in one of the final chapters of World War II.

The 70th anniversary of the first atomic bomb dropped by a U.S. aircraft on Hiroshima, Japan, was commemorated on August 6. Thoussands of lanterns were released on Hiroshima’s Motoyasu river after a ceremony, attended by Japanese PM Shinzo Abe, was held at Hiroshima’s memorial park.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in Hiroshima on August 6 to mark 70 years since the atomic bombing that helped end World War II but still divides opinion today over whether the total destruction it caused was justified.

Secretary of State John Kerry said on August 6 the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima underscored the importance of the Iran nuclear deal and disarmament in general, as Japan marked the attack's 70th anniversary.

When Atsushi Hoshino set out to revive a group representing atomic bomb survivors in the rural northeast Japanese prefecture of Fukushima 30 years ago, one topic was taboo - criticising the nuclear power industry upon which many relied for jobs. 

The death toll of those known to have died in the massive 7.8R-magnitude earthquake that hit Nepal on Saturday has climbed to at least 3,326 with more than 6,500 injured, according to the national Emergency Operation Center. Thousands spent the night outdoors in massive tent cities around Kathmandu.
