Three separate US drone strikes in North Waziristan killed at least 18 militants on Wednesday, security officials said. The third strike Wednesday again hit North Waziristan, the same tribal district targeted in the previous two drone attacks and a renowned hub for Taliban and al Qaeda-linked militants.
Dandey Darpakhel, a village five kilometres (three miles) from Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan, was targeted twice and missiles destroyed two different compounds, killing 14 militants. In the other attack, a drone fired two missiles which struck a vehicle, killing four militants in Amboor Shaga village of Datta Khel town, 40 kilometres from Miranshah. All three strikes were confirmed by intelligence officials in Miranshah, who also confirmed the death toll.
