A 49-year-old man, identified as Atsunobu Usuda, was arrested in Tokyo for throwing what appeared to be Molotov cocktails at the headquarters of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and crashing a van into a barrier at the Prime Minister's office. The incident, which occurred early Saturday morning, resulted in no injuries, although a police vehicle was partially burned. The suspect did not resist arrest but has remained silent about his motives. This attack comes amid a tense political climate, as the LDP faces declining popularity due to a financial scandal and the upcoming general election on October 27. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who was not in Tokyo at the time, emphasized the need to uphold democracy and public safety. The police are still investigating the incident, with no immediate comments on the suspect's intentions.
