Drone makes four kills in NWA

MIRANSHAH: At least four people have been reported killed after a US drone fired two missiles in North Waziristan, Geo News reported Saturday.

Sources told Geo News an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) targeted a house and a vehicle killing four people.

"A US drone fired two missiles on a vehicle in Hisokhel village and at least four militants were killed," a senior security official said.

The identities of the militants killed in the attack, which took place some 30 kilometers (18 miles) east of Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan, were not immediately clear, he said.

Local sources and an intelligence official also endorsed the attack and casualties.

It’s been reported as well that four drones kept hovering over the area following the kills, which impeded rescue work.

This was the 40th such attack in North Waziristan, taking the tally of total drone attacks, so far, this year to 55.
