Islamambad : At least six people were killed and many others injured in a US drone strike in Pakistan’s North Waziristan Agency, sources said Wednesday.
The US drone fired four missiles on a compound and a vehicle in the Alwara Mandi area of Datta Khel, destroying them completely, Dawn online reported citing intelligence sources.
The drones were still hovering over the site of the attack and sources said the toll was likely to rise.
The Pakistan Army is also conducting operation Zarb-i-Azb in the area against local and foreign militants.
The operation was initiated June 15 following a brazen militant attack on Karachi’s international airport and failure of peace talks between the government and Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) negotiators.
