On Saturday, a man threw several firebombs into the headquarters of Japan’s ruling party in Tokyo and subsequently crashed his car into the fencing of the prime minister's residence, according to Tokyo police. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries resulting from the incident.
The man, identified as a 49-year-old named Atsunobu Usuda, was arrested on the spot on charges of obstructing the performance of official duties. While the motive behind the attack remains unclear, reports suggest that Usuda may have had political ambitions, as indicated by his social media posts complaining about the financial requirements for running for office in Japan.
