The CIA-operated drone fired four missiles at a compound five kilometres from Wana, the main town in Waziristan, killing seven people, a security official told Pajhwok Afghan News on condition of anonymity.
He would not say whether the dead were civilians or militants, but locals confirmed insurgents were killed in the raid, the second in as many days. One rebel commander Mullah Malang, loyal to Commander Mullah Nazir, was among the dead.
Five drones flying over the Wacha Dana area near the Afghanistan border since Saturday carried out the attack on Sunday morning, injuring three people, said local journalist Zafar Wazir.
He said the suspected fighters were offering condolences to the brother of a militant commander killed during a similar strike a day earlier. The commander's brother and two foreigners were among the dead.
