TOKYO: Suspected gunpowder has been found at the home of a man accused of throwing an explosive at Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida during a campaign event, local media said on Monday.

Kishida was unharmed in the attack, in which a suspected pipe bomb was tossed towards him at a port in western Japan's Wakayama, shortly before he gave a speech.
