Japan marked 70 years on Saturday since the end of World War Two but faced criticism from South Korea and China, which accused it of failing to properly atone for its actions during the war, BBC reports.

At a memorial service in Tokyo, Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Emperor Akihito observed a minute's silence.
Mr Abe had expressed "profound grief" on Friday over Japan's role in the war.

But South Korean President Park Geun-hye said the Japanese premier's remarks "left much to be desired".
Speaking on Saturday at a ceremony in Seoul, Ms Park called on Mr Abe to reiterate Japan's apologies for abuses during its wartime occupations of neighbouring countries.

"History can never be covered up. History remains alive through its witnesses' vivid testimony," she said.
Japan's surrender to the allies on 15 August 1945 freed the then-unified Korea from 35 years of occupation, leading Koreans to celebrate the date as Liberation Day.
