Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was evacuated unscathed after a man threw what appeared to be a smoke bomb at an outdoor campaign speech in Saikazaki, Japan on Saturday.

"Police are investigating the details of the loud explosive sound at the previous speech venue," Kishida said when he resumed his campaign. "I am sorry for causing many people to be concerned."

A 24-year-old suspect from Kawanishi city, was charged with forcible obstruction of business, according to Japanese media.

The incident comes only nine months after Kishida’s predecessor, Shinzo Abe, was assassinated while delivering a campaign speech.
