The missile hit a house in North Waziristan tribal region, killing three persons and injuring four others, local tribesmen said.
They said that a U.S spy plane had been flying in the area before the missile was fired at a small village called Tapi, some nine kilometers from Miranshah, the center of North Waziristan.
Witnesses said the house burnt after the strike and people rushed to the site to pull the bodies out of the rubble.
On Saturday, five people were killed and two others injured when a missile hit the house of a tribesman in Wana, the center of South Waziristan.
According to locals, two Arab nationals were among those killed in the Saturday’s attack.
They said the missiles were fired by the U.S-led NATO forces in Afghanistan.
