A drone strike in Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal area has killed four militants, officials say.
A Pakistani intelligence official speaking under condition of anonymity confirmed the strike on a building near a market in Miranshah and said Taliban fighters had started hiding there in rented buildings.
The official said the death toll could be higher, as the two missiles fired at the building also damaged a neighboring building.
An earlier drone strike on February 8 on the village of Tappi, 10 kilometers southeast of Miranshah, reportedly killed 10 militants.
