CIA drones killed at least two in the first drone strike in South Waziristan since September 22 2013. It was not entirely clear what happened, from initial reports. The strike either killed two men and injured as many as four in a vehicle outside a building. Or it hit a building, killing two locals and two “Arabs”.

AFP reported at least two men were killed when they stopped their vehicle outside a house in Karezai Pal village near Wana. An official told the agency: “The militants had just parked their vehicle outside the main gate of a compound and had asked for drinking water from inside. Just when they were drinking water standing on the road, drones fired two missiles.”

The dead were reportedly members of the armed group commanded by Mullah Nazir until his death in a 2013 drone strike. The News reported “Ainullah, a commander of the Maulvi Nazir group,” was the owner of the house damaged in the attack. He was reportedly the target of the strike though his fate was unknown. The injured were reportedly taken to a private clinic where two were said to be in a critical condition.

Pakistani air strikes and a terrorist attack hit on the same day as this strike, killing at least 23 people. The bombing, in a refugee camp, killed three children.
