Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio was uninjured after a man threw what appears to have been a bomb at the site of a campaign speech in western Japan on Saturday.
Kishida left the site after the explosion and has been confirmed safe. Authorities say one police officer suffered minor injuries.
Kishida was visiting Saikazaki Port in Wakayama Prefecture on Saturday morning to offer support to his party's candidate in a by-election planned later this month. His speech at the fishing port was cancelled.
Police arrested 24-year-old Kimura Ryuji who lives in Kawanishi city in Hyogo prefecture. He is under arrest for suspicion of forcible obstruction of business. The suspect has reportedly remained silent.
Investigative source told NHK the suspect had two cylindrical objects, one of which exploded. The other was seized by authorities.
Kishida later went ahead with a planned speech in front of JR Wakayama Station.
Kishida said: "We are holding an important election across the country and we have to work together to see it through to the end."
Kishida's next speech was delivered in Chiba prefecture. This round of local elections will take place on April 23, when voters choose mayors and assembly members in smaller municipalities. By-elections to fill vacancies in five lower and upper house seats will also be held on April 23.
Investigative sources say the cylindrical object believed to have exploded at the site of Prime Minister Kishida's planned speech is likely made of metal. They say the explosion shattered the tube.
Police say they seized two objects at the scene. Eyewitness reports suggest a light on one object illuminated prior to its explosion. Police suspect it may be what is known as an "iron pipe bomb."
This type of explosive is made by sealing each end of a pipe packed with gunpowder and fitted with a detonator. Such a bomb will explode when air pressure inside the pipe reaches a certain level after the gunpowder ignites.
Police believe the suspect was in possession of the remaining bomb when he was apprehended. They say there was no explosion, and plan to analyze the mechanism in detail.
Former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo was shot and killed in the city of Nara last July. He was giving a speech during an election campaign. Yamagami Tetsuya, 42-year-old, was indicted on a number of charges, including murder.

Saturday marks the 111th anniversary of the birth of North Korea's founder Kim Il Sung.
On Friday night, state-run TV showed footage of a banner with the words "eternal leader" being raised in Pyongyang. Women in traditional costumes were seen singing and dancing on stage.
Kim's birthday is one of North Korea's most important public holidays. Pyongyang will likely use it to bolster national pride, such as by touting the country's nuclear and missile programs.
On Friday, North Korea said it had conducted the first test of a Hwasong-18 intercontinental ballistic missile the day before. Leader Kim Jong Un was present.
The missile reportedly uses solid fuel, which enables quicker launches.
The anniversary of the founding of the Korean People's Army takes place on April 25. And a US-South Korea summit is scheduled the next day in Washington.
Observers say Pyongyang could carry out its first launch of a military reconnaissance satellite ahead of key events.
Launching a rocket carrying a satellite would violate a UN Security Council resolution banning North Korea from using ballistic missile technology.

A European Space Agency explorer has lifted off for a mission to Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system.
An Ariane 5 rocket launched from French Guiana on Friday and successfully separated with the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, or Juice, 28 minutes later.
The probe will travel to three moons orbiting Jupiter: Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. They were all discovered by Galileo Galilei more than 400 years ago.
The moons contain water under their surfaces in volumes far greater than Earth's oceans. The aim is to hunt for the presence of subsurface water and organic substances, both of which are essential for life.
Ganymede is believed to be the only moon in the solar system to generate its own magnetic field.
Japan and the United States are also members of the project.
The Japanese space agency JAXA was involved in the development of a laser altimeter. The Juice explorer also carries equipment to observe radio and plasma waves.
The probe is due to approach Jupiter in 2031 and orbit Ganymede in 2034. The mission will end the following year.
In a news conference, European Space Agency Director General Joseph Aschbacher said, "Juice will be identifying the habitability of the icy moons around Jupiter. This is a very important question for all of us, for all mankind. Is life possible? What would be the habitat where life could exist?"
