Reports surfaced of a possible other strike, but there was a lack of clarity over many of the details.

According to Reuters, four Pakistani intelligence officials and three Taliban commanders said that two separate US strikes hit on February 7. The first was the one listed in the entry below, which they said took place in Afghanistan’s Paktika province, while the three Taliban commanders said the second targeted a compound in Gurwek town in Pakistan’s North Waziristan. Reuters points put that the two areas are adjacent and so the officials and commanders could in-fact be talking about the same strike.

Meanwhile, AP also reported two strikes, but said these occurred on February 8. One hit Gurwek, the town mentioned by Reuters, killing seven fighters. The other strike hit a vehicle killing four insurgents in Barmal distict, according to a local police chief, but they placed this in Paktia province. Barmal appears to be in Paktika, but the two provinces are neighbouring.

The lack of clarity over these strikes means we cannot include them in our databases. We have recorded them as possible strikes in both our Afghan and Pakistan timelines.
