PESHAWAR – US drones killed six militants and injured another five on Sunday in three separate strikes in North Waziristan and South Waziristan, local and official sources said.
The strikes took place in the village of Spalga, 20 kilometres south of Miranshah. The drone first struck a house belonging to a militant leader, and fired a second time at militants who were rescuing the targets of the first attack, killing six and injuring five.
Earlier, a drone fired at a vehicle allegedly occupied by militants in Azam Warsak on Sunday morning, but the occupants of the targeted vehicle escaped. Tribesmen from Wana said all six occupants of the vehicle were Arab militants believed to be associated with al Qaeda.
