(Previous Incident Code: Ob345 )

Drones returned for the second time in a day to kill at least two people in a strike in the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan. The attack hit “a gathering of militants on a mountain” according to Reuters, though another source said the attack “levelled” a house. A security official told AFP: “The drone fired two missiles, killing three people and injuring five. They were Uzbeks.”

The attack was close to the Afghan border, as was the previous attack (Ob344), though this strike hit closer according to two Pakistani officials. It hit hours after the previous attack – at 6.30pm according to Urdu TV. This was the sixth strike in the Datta Khel area this year.
