(Previous Incident Code: Ob207 )

The US allegedly carried out a drone strike ik Datta Khel, north Waziristan, that killed up to eight people, reported by some as “militants” while wounding at least one other, local and international media reported.

A total of six drones reportedly attacked a pick-up van (and possibly a house) killing up to eight alleged militants, including “foreigners,” and injuring one person, several sources reported. The Bureau published an internal Pakistani record of CIA drone strikes in January 2014. It said five people were killed, adding: ‘Reportedly, amongst the killed two were Punjabis.’

However, as some reports did not specify whether the between thee and eight killed people were civilians or militants, the possibility of civilian fatalities, can as of now, not be ruled out.

All reports said that the strike was the work of the US, more specifically a Predator drone.
