On April 15, the scene of Abe's attack last year was repeated in Japan. A smoke bomb was thrown at Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who was visiting Wakayama City. Fortunately, Kishida was not injured and was evacuated from the scene. In June of last year, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot to death during his speech.

According to NHK, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was thrown a smoke bomb before delivering his speech in Wakayama City. According to the report, Fumio Kishida was visiting a fishing port in Wakayama at the time and was preparing to deliver a speech. Wakayama is located in central Japan, close to Osaka.

Japan's Kyodo News quoted police as reporting that a man was detained at the scene. Fumio Kishida was evacuated from the scene to the Wakayama police headquarters.

There was an explosion at the scene, and people fled the scene in a panic.

This incident happened nine months after the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. In July of last year, Abe was hit by a homemade weapon while running for the Liberal Democratic Party in Nara Prefecture. He died due to his injuries. He died at the age of 67.

According to Kyodo News, Fumio Kishida decided to deliver a street speech in the afternoon as scheduled.

According to Japan's “Sankei Shimbun” report, Liberal Democratic Party sources said that after an explosion broke out at the lecture venue at Saigasaki fishing port in Wakayama City, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will change the speech venue and deliver the day's speech in front of JR (Japan Railway Company) Wakayama Station.

The report said that at present, Wakayama police are already carefully searching for vegetation near the new lecture site, etc., and police dogs have also been put into the search for suspicious objects.
