Suspected US missiles levelled a Taliban compound in north-west on Sunday, officials said, killing three people despite militant threats of a wave of suicide bombings if the strikes don't end. Sunday's suspected strike occurred in South Waziristan region.
Shahab Ali Shah, South Waziristan's top administrative official, said three people died and five were wounded in the Zari Noor village area. The identities of the dead and wounded were not immediately clear.
Haji Gul Zaman, who lives just outside Zari Noor village, said he heard two blasts and saw plumes of smoke rising from the area. Trucks carrying Taliban fighters raced toward the scene, Zaman said.
