A US drone strike targeting a militant compound in a tribal region killed four in the fourth attack in two days near the Afghan border, security officials said Saturday.
The drones fired eight missiles Friday night at the compound in Baghar, 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of Wana, the main town of South Waziristan tribal district, where the military launched a ground offensive two years ago.
“The strike killed four militants and wounded three others,” a senior security official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
He said that identities of those killed in the attack could not be immediately established.
