The incident of a remote-controlled drone crashing on the roof of the Japanese Prime Minister's Office is causing headaches for the country's authorities as they try to find a way to deal with it, while the police have made some comments after preliminary investigation results.

According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the remote-controlled aircraft discovered on April 22 was a small drone that could have crashed onto the roof of a building against the operator’s will. The device had four propellers, one of which was broken.

The body of this device has the word Phantom, which is the logo of Chinese remote control device manufacturer DJI.

DJI's representative in Japan said that about 1 million of the company's products have been sold in and outside Japan.

According to DJI's announcement, there are 6 types of Phantom drones on the market, with flight distances ranging from a few hundred meters to several kilometers.

After the incident, the company added a no-fly zone to the facility, which is the Prime Minister's Office and the Royal Palace.

In addition, DJI has also revised the control software to prevent this flying device from automatically taking off and landing within a radius of 1km.

Meanwhile, the Japanese government is also considering imposing air incursion restrictions in key areas.

On April 24, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kazuhiro Sugita will chair an interagency meeting with relevant agencies to discuss how to handle the drones.

Earlier, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Sugi said that it is necessary to cooperate between relevant agencies to deal with emerging problems, starting with crime prevention.

Also on April 24, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) will hold a meeting of the Security and Counter-Terrorism Investigation Committee to discuss countermeasures.

The discussion is expected to focus on amending regulations related to flight regulations.

The cause was determined to be due to security concerns from the recent Phantom drone crash on the roof of the Japanese Prime Minister's Office.
