Two or three missiles hit a house and possibly a car killing 4-7 people in the third strike in three days. The house, and possibly training area, reportedly belonged to an alleged Taliban commander, Mustaqeem. It was not known if Mustaqeem was the target of the strike and if he died or was even present when the drones attacked.

It was the third to hit the Shawal area. It is a remote, forested valley near the Pakistan Afghanistan border that straddles the boundary between North and South Waziristan. It was reportedly a base for fighters crossing into Afghanistan to attack Nato and Afghan forces.
