On the morning of the 15th, Prime Minister Kishida was visiting the Saikazaki Fishing Port in Wakayama City to support the election when he heard an explosion just before his speech.

Prime Minister Kishida evacuated from the scene and was not injured, and no one near the venue was injured.

Police arrested the suspect on the spot on suspicion of obstruction of business by force, and announced that he was Ryuji Kimura (24), who lives in Kawanishi City, Hyogo Prefecture, from the driver's license he was carrying. Since the person himself is silent, he says that he is confirming the exact reading of the name.
