PESHAWAR: At least seven suspected militants were killed and two others injured in a US drone strike conducted on Friday in South Waziristan’s Ladha subdivision.

“A vehicle close to a militant compound was the target of the strike in the Shonkrai Narai village of South Waziristan,” an official said.

The official confirmed the death toll; however, did not delve into details regarding identities of the deceased.

Further, sources said the area has heavy presence of Sajna group of the Taliban faction.

The drone strike comes after a long halt, as North Waziristan has been the main target of drone strikes in recent months. At least five suspected militants were killed when a US drone fired two missiles at a compound in North Waziristan, officials said on September 1.

Earlier this week, security forces imposed a curfew in South Waziristan after a convoy came under attack which left one dead and injuring five security personnel.

Meanwhile, the army continues its Operation in the nearby Shawal Valley where a ground offensive was launched last month.

I think this is Pakistan asking for it and US complying but we should stop and rather rely on our own capabilities. Asking a foreign nation to bomb your own territory, no matter how deep the cooperation is, is still pathetic.
