Two US drone aircraft fired three missiles into a house in North Waziristan region on the Afghan border on Tuesday, killing at least four militants, Pakistani intelligence officials said. The drone strike took place in Mir Ali town, 24 km (15 miles) east of the region's main town of Miranshah.
"The house has been completely destroyed. Militants have cordoned off the area and are removing bodies from rubble," a local intelligence official, who declined to be identified, told Reuters adding that four militants were killed in the strike. It was not possible to verify the deaths independently. Militants often dispute official casualty tolls.
