Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was rushed to safety Saturday after a man tossed what appeared to be a smoke bomb moments before the leader was set to give a speech.
Kishida was visiting the Saikazaki port in Wakayama when the explosive was thrown from an unnamed man hiding in a crowd of several hundred people just before 11:30 a.m., KYODO News reported.
An explosion was heard and the audience was sent fleeing.
