Up to five people, most likely militants, but possible civilians, were killed in the third of three linked airstrikes in north Waziristan on November 3rd. The first and second strike are detailed in Ob154 and Ob155.

In the last reported strike, taking place in Pai Khel, four missiles struck a car, killing between four and five alleged militants, most local and international news reported.

However, it’s unknown whether there were casualties from the strike, as one single source, Xinhua, reported the killed as “people” without providing further details.

All known sources agreed that the strike was the work of a US drone.
