After the destruction, the sad pictures show that no house in the town still stands.

"It used to be home to around 10,000 people. It used to be a peaceful city... Zoom in to see that nothing is left untouched," Ukraine said.

Before the war, 10,000 people lived in Mariinka, which is now one of the most dangerous settings of the current war. Mariinka is located on the outskirts of Donetsk.

It's an area that is basically under the jurisdiction of both the Russian and Ukrainian governments.

The United States dropped two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, as part of the nuclear bombing campaign against Japan during World War II.

Between 129,000 and 226,000 people died because of the two attacks; most were innocent bystanders. The war ended on September 2 of that year.
