At least six suspected militants have been killed in a drone strike in north-west Pakistan, local officials say, reports BBC.
Local officials say two planes fired two missiles into a militant compound and four missiles at a vehicle in Datta khel in North Waziristan.
Five others were injured in the attack. Officials say most of the dead and injured in Monday night's attack were local militants.
But locals say some of them were foreign militants from Turkmenistan.
Those killed and injured were Taliban militants loyal to Hafiz Gul Bahadur - the group's main commander in the area, officials say.
They said that four militants were killed when a missile hit the vehicle, while two others died in the attack on the compound.
