MIRANSHAH: A US drone fired two missiles on a vehicle, killing at least two people in Pakistan’s northwestern tribal region.

The unmanned aircraft targeted the vehicle in Miranshah, main town of North Waziristan Agency, sources said on Wednesday.

Earlier, 15 militants were killed on June 4 when a US drone fired four missiles on a militant compound in Mir Ali sub-division, North Waziristan.

According to a tribesman who was an eyewitness, the compound was razed to the ground after the attack.

Pakistan strongly condemned a jump in US drone strikes in Pakistan. The foreign ministry had called the attacks “illegal” and said they violated the country’s sovereignty.
