(Previous Incident Code: Ob82 )

Four people, possibly ‘foreigners’, were reported killed and five injured in an alleged US drone-waged strike on two houses, local and international media reported.

AFP reported that “the identities of the dead were not immediately clear, nor whether they were locals or foreigners.’” Reuters stated:

“One of the two missiles fired by a pilotless drone aircraft hit a village house used by militants as a hideout, killing four people and wounding five others, officials said. The identities of the people killed could not be ascertained. A second missile landed in a nearby field.”

However the agency also noted that local militants sealed off the bomb site.

Because the status of the killed and wounded were not clear across the reports, the casualties will, as of now, be treated as possible being civilians.

All known sources agreed that a US drone was behind the strike.
