Two Japanese men fire at North Korean ‘embassy’

-

TOKYO— Two Japanese right-wing extremists were arrested Friday after firing shots at a building that serves as a de facto embassy for North Korea, police said. No one was injured in the early morning attack, but the police arrested Satoshi Katsurada, 56, and Yoshinori Kawamura, 46, for firing “what appears to be a gun” several times around 3:50 a.m., a spokespers­on for Tokyo Metropolit­an Police said. The two men are associated with right-wing movements, with Katsurada known to have protested against North Korea in the past, media said.
