Following the first strike in Wana, south Waziristan, the US allegedly carried out another strike in Karez, also south Waziristan, hitting a moving vehicle, though there were no reported fatalities acceding to local and international news.

Sources described how no injuries were reported as four car occupants (possibly “Punjabi militants”) escaped into an orchard before their vehicle was destroyed.

PakTribune reported in detail from the strike:

“In the second attack, tribal sources said the drones fired two missiles on a moving car in Karez village, 10 kilometres west of Wana. The first missile missed the target and those traveling in the speeding car stopped it near an apple orchard and managed to escape.

Eyewitnesses said within minutes, the drone fired the second missile and hit the car, turning it into pieces. Taliban sources said four militants reportedly belonging to the Punjab, were in the car but remained safe as they had taken shelter in the apple orchard before the drone struck the vehicle.”
