A night-time strike killed two unknown civilians and injured a further three, according to an unnamed local villager, due to alleged US forces air and drone strikes.

Local resident Ajab Khan reported that the attack had set a house on fire, telling AP that he saw two bodies brought out and three wounded people taken away in a vehicle. Suspected Taliban militants surrounded the house, Khan said – a common occurrence after such strikes.

It was reported that the house was owned by Ghuncha Gul Wazir – though it is not clear if this is the militant leader of the same name. PakTribune, reported that he was a “tribesman”.

All agencies referred to those killed only as ‘people’ raising the possibility of civilian casualties.
