PESHAWAR: At least six people were killed and several others injured when an unmanned US drone fired two missiles into an alleged militants  compounds in North Waziristan  area of the country’s tribal region bordering Afghanistan.

According of officials, the attack took place in Dargah Mandi, about 10 kilometres (six miles) from Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan.

“It was a US drone strike. Six militants were killed, the death toll may rise,” one security official in Miranshah told AFP.

US drone attacks are deeply unpopular in Pakistan, but Washington views them as a vital tool in the fight against Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants in the lawless tribal areas along the border with Afghanistan.

The Pakistani government has repeatedly protested against drone strikes as a violation of its sovereignty and there has been a decrease in their use.
