A second strike of the day killed 4-7 people according to anonymous Pakistani sources. At least two of the dead were reportedly Uzbeks. According to Express Tribune five people died when the strike hit and two more later succumbed to injuries sustained in the attack.
One unnamed Pakistan security official told AFP: “Two Uzbek and three local militants were killed in the drone strike.” Five others killed in the attack were allegedly affiliated with a group led by Khan Said (aka Sajna), Dawn reported. Said was not believed to be present at the scene when the strike hit. He was a leading commander in the Mehsud tribe in South Waziristan, the paper added. He was part of the TTP but split after a leadership struggle following the death of Hakimullah Mehsud in November 2013.
