Shame on Pakistan for not raising drone issue at UN.
At least two people were killed and four injured when drones fired missiles at a compound in Kari Kot, Wana, South Waziristan Agency on Sunday, Express News reported.
This is the second drone strike this month and the first in the South Waziristan Agency this year.
On September 24, at least 10 suspected militants, including foreign fighters, were killed and two injured in a US predator strike in North Waziristan Agency.
Pakistan routinely protests against drone strikes, which have been targeting militants in the tribal areas since 2004, saying they violate its sovereignty and are counter-productive in the fight against terror.
There has been a considerable decline in the number of predator strikes in the tribal regions since US President Barrack Obama approved new guidelines for the use of lethal drones.
