Japan's former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has died in hospital after he was shot at a political campaign event.
The suspect, named as Tetsuya Yamagami, admitted shooting Abe with a homemade gun.
Abe, who was Japan's longest-serving prime minister, held office in 2006 for a year and then again from 2012 to 2020, before stepping down citing health reasons.
He was succeeded by his close party ally Yoshihide Suga, who was later replaced by Fumio Kishida.
It was the first assassination of a sitting or former Japanese premier since the days of pre-war militarism in the 1930s.
