The city suffered extensive destruction, with nearly 67 percent of structures obliterated.

Foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov announced the formal Soviet declaration of war against Japan. Soviet troops began their march on Manchuria, Chinese territory invaded by Japanese forces in 1931.

An estimated forty thousand people were killed in the explosion; thousands of others later died from burns or radiation exposure. The yield of the explosion over Nagasaki was later estimated at around 21 kilotons, 40 percent greater than the Hiroshima atomic bomb.*** Very good condition.
