(Previous Incident Code: Ob349 )

The 400th US drone strike in Pakistan since the first known fatal one just over a decade ago, and the 349th drone strike of Obama’s presidency.

Either two or four people were killed when the strike reportedly hit a vehicle. The dead reportedly included foreigners and locals. One was identified as Mohammad Mustafa. Mustafa was described as “a local leader” from the Hafiz Gul Bahadur group.

The attack reportedly hit near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. There were conflicting accounts of where the strike hit. Some Pakistani intelligence officials told Reuters it killed two suspected militants near the border with Afghanistan. However Pakistani sources told the Associated Press the attack hit in Margha, Afghanistan, just across the border from North Waziristan.

The Pakistani Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said after meeting with US trade and national security officials: “We have an advance technology which can easily examine that the [recent] strikes were aimed at areas across the western border.”
