MIRANSHAH: A drone fired missiles at a target in Miranshah, North Waziristan early on Thursday, killing at least three people, Express News reported.
The drone reportedly fired missiles at a target in the Miranshah Bazaar that resulted in the deaths of three people.
The casualties are feared to rise.
This is the first strike in almost a month with the last drone attack being reported on September 30, 2013.
The attack comes almost a week after a rights groups Amnesty International and the Human Rights Watch both released their reports on drone strikes and followed a report by UN Special Rapproteur on the same topic.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Senate was told by the Minister for Defence Production in a written statement that only 67 civilians had been killed in drone strikes since 2008, a figure in conflict with other numbers perviously released by the government and those cited by rights groups.
