Multiple US led missile strikes, including an attack on an ex-school and a vehicle, killed between six and 25 people, according to local media. UPI reported that the school had been turned into a Taliban training camp just months before the strike.

The Pakistan Taliban (TTP) claimed that only five of its militants died in the strike, and Sky News reported that “nine people – five of them militants – have reportedly been killed in a suspected US missile attack in northwestern Pakistan.”

Reflecting the initial confusion often associated with strikes, the Daily Times reported, “officials claimed ten Taliban had been killed, a deputy Taliban commander said five were killed, the political administration claimed nine Taliban were killed, while tribesmen claimed they had counted 25 bodies.”

Four missiles were fired in the attack, according to records kept by Pakistani officials in the region. The dead were said to be Uzbeks and Arab nationals.

Dawn reported that in the aftermath of the attack, militants retrieved the bodies and the injured. The injured were taken to a government-run hospital in Sararogha.
