Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was attacked with what appeared to be a smoke bomb on Saturday, just moments before he was to begin his speech at Wakayama, supporting his ruling party’s candidate in a local election. He was evacuated safely and escaped unhurt.
The attack on Kishida comes less than a year after former PM Shinzo Abe was shot while delivering an election campaign speech in July last year. Forty-year-old Tetsuya Yamagami used a handmade gun to shoot Abe.
