TOKYO: A small drone was found on the roof of the Japanese prime minister's office on Wednesday, apparently having been flown there, local media said.
Staff at the official residence -- known as "the Kantei" --discovered the 50-centimetre (20-inch) craft on top of the five-storey structure in central Tokyo around mid-morning, major broadcasters reported.
Aerial footage showed dozens of police officers swarming over the roof and helipad of the modern, glass-facade building, with the drone covered by a blue tarpaulin.
Police have not found any explosives on the four-propeller drone, but it did have a camera, a plastic bottle and what appeared to be a flare, NHK said.
Tokyo Metropolitan Police declined to comment on the matter.
