apanese police are investigating a man claiming responsibility for landing a drone on the roof of the Japanese Prime Minister's Office this week.
Tokyo's metropolitan police said Friday the man turned himself in to the Fukui prefectural police in western Japan.
The drone found Wednesday had traces of radiation and triggered fear of potential terrorist attacks using unmanned aerial devices.
Police have not determined if the man was responsible for the drone or had broken any law. He hasn't been arrested, and his identity has not been released.
Kyodo News agency said a police official quoted the man as saying he flew the drone to protest the government's nuclear energy policy.
Nobody was injured and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was traveling during the incident. (*****)
