当地时间4月15日，日本首相岸田文雄在和歌山县和歌山市进行演讲前，遭人掷疑似爆炸物，岸田在此次事件中没有受伤。根据日本警方通报，嫌疑人为24岁的木村隆二，已被逮捕。警方17日已将木村移送检方。

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Saturday was evacuated unscathed after an object that appeared to be a smoke bomb was thrown near him during his visit to western Japan's Wakayama City for a stump speech, local media reported. According to investigative sources, Ryuji Kimura, a 24-year-old man from Hyogo Prefecture, was arrested at the scene.

警方：还携带水果刀
 

据报道，岸田当天在和歌山县和歌山市声援众议院补缺选举自民党候选人。
 

媒体画面显示，当天大约11时30分左右，嫌疑人向岸田投掷的是一个银色筒状物体，“爆炸物”看似装在筒中，被投掷后约50秒才爆炸，发出很大声响并冒出白烟。

Footage shows crowds of people running away as smoke filled the area where a loud explosion was heard, and police officers pressing the suspect to the ground. The object, resembling a flare with smoke, was thrown at Kishida at around 11:30 a.m. local time while he was preparing to deliver an outdoor speech supporting the by-election of the House of Representatives.
 

现场有当地民众协助警卫擒住嫌疑人。当时嫌疑人还有另一个银色筒状物体没有扔出。
 

 

另据日本共同社报道，嫌疑人当时还持有水果刀。警方透露，刀刃长度约13厘米，在木村携带的包中发现。这意味着存在准备了爆炸物以外凶器，木村企图视现场情况选择方法袭击岸田的可能性。据悉，木村刚被逮捕后称“等律师来了再说”，之后一直保持沉默。

Kimura, meanwhile, was found to have brought a knife with him tucked inside his backpack, with the blade's length measuring about 13 centimeters, the sources said, causing the police to suspect he may have intended to carry out his attack differently depending on the situation. The suspect is refusing to answer police questions in the absence of a lawyer.

 

报道称，当时岸田在警护官的保护下，躲避到几十米外的车旁。演说会场基于《警护要则》展开了相关措施。该要则是去年发生前首相安倍晋三遭枪击身亡案后修改而成，规定了由警察厅事先审查该县警方制定的警护计划。

15日的“爆炸物”风波距离日本前首相安倍晋三去年7月8日在奈良市街头做助选演讲时遭枪击身亡不到一年。今年1月，日本奈良地方检察厅以杀人和违反枪支刀具法的罪名正式起诉枪杀安倍的嫌疑人山上彻也。

据统计，此前，日本共有8名首相和前首相遇刺，其中7人身亡，唯一逃过一劫的是岸信介。

 

岸田：全力确保G7安全
 

经历“爆炸物”风波后，岸田当天下午恢复助选活动，包括在当地一个车站停留并发表演讲。岸田称，警方正在调查事件细节，他对于这起事件引发许多人担心感到“抱歉”。按照他的说法，当前的补缺选举“很重要”，“我们必需共同努力坚持”。

In a stump speech elsewhere in the city, Kishida said the incident should not be allowed to disrupt the electoral process. "Together with you all, we have to carry on with the election."
 

在事发当天，七国集团（G7）气候和能源部长会议正在日本北海道首府札幌举行，七国集团外长会议16日在日本长野县轻井泽召开。

The attack against Kishida comes as G7 climate and energy ministers meet in the northern city of Sapporo and the bloc's foreign ministers gather in the resort town of Karuizawa in Nagano Prefecture.
 

有日本舆论担心，日方安保人员能否保证下月在广岛开幕的七国集团领导人会议顺利举行。岸田则表示，在下个月七国集团（G7）会议即将召开之际，日本必须尽一切努力确保峰会期间安全。
 

据多家媒体报道，这起事件暴露出日本警察厅的安保工作仍有漏洞，而且当时最早发现并抓住嫌疑人不放的是一名当地民众。
