At least three people were killed and two injured in a missile attack by a suspected United States drone in Chashma village in North Waziristan Agency, local sources said on Saturday.
They said that the attack targeted the house of a local tribesman Taj Muhammad, around two kilometres south of Miranshah. There was no immediate information about the identity of those killed.
However, official sources denied reports of the suspected drone attack on North Waziristan Agency, APP reported.
"The news of a missile strike on North Waziristan is incorrect," the official sources said. US drone attacks on Pakistani territories continue despite the government's repeated condemnations of unilateral action. The government maintains that such attacks thwart local peace efforts. |
