US drone strikes killed at least nine persons, destroying a suspected compound and a vehicle in North Waziristan Agency on the Afghan border here on Thursday, officials said.
The officials said unmanned American aircraft fired four missiles
into the Razmak area, 60 kilometres (40 miles) south of the region’s
main town Miranshah.
The intelligence officials informed a private TV channel that
suspected US drones fired four missiles at a house near the Afghan
border, killing nine persons.
The fresh strike came one day after a major salvo of US missiles
destroyed a Pakistani Taliban base on the Afghan border with South
Waziristan, killing up to 18 militants including possible Al-Qaeda
fighters. SANA
