Up to five were killed and five wounded in an alleged US led explosion at a house of ‘pro-militant’ tribal elder Malik Gulab Khan, local media reported.

The victims were described as “people” by most sources, not differentiating been militants and civilians.

AFP reported that ‘residents’ were killed. The intended targets were reportedly Abu Kasha-linked militants. Although reported as a drone strike some Pakistani officials disputed whether one had taken place, however.

There are no other details at this time.
