MIRANSHAH: At least thirteen people were killed when missiles fired from a drone destroyed a house in South Waziristan Wednesday, Geo News reported.
The strike came a day after a similar attack in Miranshah in adjacent North Waziristan.
US officials said Pakistan's tribal districts provide sanctuary to Taliban fighting in the 10-year war against US troops in neighboring Afghanistan and to Al-Qaeda-linked militants plotting attacks on the West.
The United States refuses to discuss publicly drone strikes in Pakistan, but the program has dramatically increased as the Obama administration searches for an end to a decade of fighting in Afghanistan.
