A US drone strike on Friday killed seven militants, including “some high value target”, in North Waziristan Agency, the first since Nawaz Sharif was sworn in as prime minister this week calling for an end to such attacks.

The missiles hit a compound in Shokhel village, more than 100 kilometres southwest of Miranshah.

“The US drone fired two missiles targeting a militant compound and killing at least seven militants,” a senior local security official said.

Another official confirmed the strike and casualties but said the identities of those killed were not yet known.

The strike came just two days after Nawaz was sworn in for a historic third time and asked the United States to end its campaign of drone attacks against militants.

“We respect the sovereignty of others and they should also respect our sovereignty and independence. This campaign should come to an end,” he said after lawmakers endorsed him as premier on Wednesday.

    • Don't get your panties in a bunch,its only been couple of days since Nawaz took the oath.Its not like turning your electricity back on after you pay your bill,have patience.

  5. Tv news shows that droon attack was just hours after the oath ceremony of new cabinet in Islam Abad. Probably this was welcome/gesture attack for the new cabinet of Mr.Sharif. He is yet to issue a protest statement; the least he can do…

  6. Pie in Mr. Sharif's face by Mr. Obama, right after Mr. Sharif announces his cabinet! If Nawaz Sharif ignores this provocation he will be greatly weakened.
