Roughly nine months following the fatal attack on Japan’s longtime Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, an explosion at a public appearance by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida caused a stir on Saturday. Kishida was brought to safety unharmed, the Japanese television station NHK reported on Saturday from Wakayama Prefecture. Shortly before the scheduled start of the speech, the smoke bomb exploded with a loud bang. A man was overpowered.
