Miramshah, Mar 16(ANI): At least four militants were killed in a US drone attack in Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal region on Wednesday.
The drone fired two missiles on a vehicle in the Dattakhel area of North Waziristan, the Dawn reported.
The deeply unpopular covert US drone campaign, which operates with the tacit consent of Pakistani officials, has been ramped up recently as the missiles target insurgents believed to be hiding in the lawless border regions.
Most have been concentrated in North Waziristan- the alleged Afghan Taliban and Al Qaeda bastion- where the United States wants the Pakistan military to launch a ground offensive.
Pakistan has, however, not given in to the US demand so far, saying that its troops are already overstretched. (ANI)
