Saying goodbye to pacifism
A nation that once renounced war now stands at the edge of rewriting its identity. Japan, shaped by the ashes of World War II, based its global reputation on peace, restraint, and constitutional idealism.
A Portuguese fisherman in Nazare, around 120 km north of Portuguese capital Lisbon, found an unexploded bomb, believed to be from World War II.
The bomb, equivalent to 600 kg of TNT, was detonated by Portuguese navy divers safely at sea on Monday afternoon, Xinhua news agency reported.
