PESHAWAR: A US drone fired missiles at a residential compound in Pakistan’s northwestern tribal region near Afghan border, ,killing at least four people, sources said on Friday.
The sources said that the attack took place in Danday Darpa Khel near Miranshah, main town of North Waziristan Agency.
They said that locals were trying to retrieve dead and injured from the debris of the house. Identities of the dead and injured were yet to be known.
It was the second drone attack since Prime Minster Nawaz Sharif paid a visit to the United States, where he demanded US President Barack Obama to stop the attacks.
Pakistan has long been opposing CIA-operated drone attacks in the tribal region dubbing them as violation if its territorial integrity.
