A US drone attack on a militant compound in Pakistan's tribal region of North Waziristan on Sunday killed six suspected militants, security officials said. The drone fired two missiles on a compound in Khaddi village 15 kilometres (10 miles) east of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan, two security officials said. The region is considered a hub of Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked militants. "Two missiles were fired on a compound. The compound and vehicle parked nearby were destroyed in the attack and at least six militants are dead," a senior Pakistani security official told AFP on condition of anonymity. The drone strike and the casualties were also confirmed by a local intelligence official.
