The reputed house of Munawar Jan was destroyed in a strike. According to initial media reporting five alleged militants including a ‘foreigner’ were killed, although Long War Journal reported the dead included two ‘Taliban’ and three ‘foreign fighters’. Xinhua reported ‘at least five’ had been killed and the number was likely to rise. Three people were reportedly injured. A senior Pakistani official reported that a swarm of five drones were involved in the attack, flying at low altitude before two ‘descended further and fired four missiles at the compound, destroying it completely,’ reported SATP.

In January 2014 the Bureau published a secret Pakistani record of drone strikes and casualties. The document listed 10 people killed in this strike. It said four ‘locals’ and six ‘non-locals’ were killed in an attack on two cars near a house, suggesting there may have been civilian casualties.
