Japanese police arrested a man who said he was responsible for landing a drone on the roof of the office of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Yasuo Yamamoto, an unemployed 40-year-old, faces obstruction charges after turning himself in to local police in Fukui prefecture, a police official who declined to give his name citing policy, said Saturday. Operations at Abe’s Tokyo office were disrupted on April 22 when the drone, which carried a small container marked with a radioactive danger sign, was discovered, the official said.
