Visitors mark the 86th anniversary of the "September 18 Incident" at the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders in Nanjing City, the capital of East China’s Jiangsu Province, Sept. 18, 2017. The memorial hall details Japanese atrocities in the city during World War II. Nanjing blared air-raid sirens to mark the 86th anniversary of the "September 18 Incident". On Sept. 18, 1931, Japanese troops blew up a section of the railway under their control near Shenyang, Liaoning Province, and then accused Chinese troops of sabotage as a pretext for attack. They bombarded barracks near Shenyang the same evening, beginning a large-scale armed invasion of northeast China. The incident was followed by Japan's full-scale invasion of China and the rest of Asia, triggering the war against Japanese aggression. (Photo: China News Service/Yang Bo)
