A US drone attack on a militant compound in a restive Pakistani tribal area Tuesday killed at least five militants, security officials said.
The drone strike took place in Lawra Mandi area in the North Waziristan tribal district bordering Afghanistan, where the Pakistani military is battling Taliban militants.
“A militant compound was targeted by firing two missiles killing five militants,” a senior Pakistani security official told AFP. The official said the identities of the militants could not be immediately confirmed.
