(Previous Incident Code: Ob227 )

An evening attack on a van (and also possibly a house) killed up to 23 people. According to one source five people were reportedly in the van, their identities unknown. Other media reported that the house had been the target.

Several media organisations reported that 10 people were killed in the drone attack while reports from the area said only the five people seated in the vehicle were killed in the strike. The BIJ writes that Pakistani Intelligence figures indicate five people were killed and 12 injured, and that there was possible civilian causalities although none have yet been reported.  Government officials confirmed the incident but expressed ignorance about the identity of the slain persons.

AFP reported that all of those killed were ‘local militants.’
