Supports. Reuters and AP report that the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima (Aug. 6, 1945) and Nagasaki (Aug. 9, 1945), with the Hiroshima blast alone killing about 78,000 people instantly.[1][2]
Supports. CFR and Britannica state that most of those killed in the bombings were civilians, and that the attacks were the first and only uses of nuclear weapons in an armed conflict.[3][4]
Context. Historians dispute the justification for the bombings, and some sources (e.g., FAS, UN experts) describe them as a systematic campaign or call them a wrong, but these are interpretive positions and do not contradict the factual claim that the U.S. carried out the nuclear attacks on civilian populations.[5][6][7]
