For the second time in 24 hours an alleged TTP training camp was attacked. The strike in a forested area killed up to ten people, (including three ‘Punjabi Taliban’) with a dozen injured. The BBC reported:

Missiles hit the thickly-forested and mountainous Karwan Manza area, some 10km (six miles) south-east of Ladha. Officials say six missiles were fired, completely destroying a Taliban hideout, a day after another camp was hit in a similar attack nearby.

A local Bureau source reported that the attack may have been on the funeral of a man named as Laiq Marjan, possibly killed the day before. On the same day Islamabad’s High Court dismissed a petition calling on Pakistan’s military to defend the nation’s airspace from drone attacks.
