TEHRAN (FNA)- At least four people were killed and one other was injured in a US drone attack in Pakistan's Northwestern tribal region of North Waziristan.
According to the reports, the US unmanned plane on Thursday night targeted a house in Datta Khel area of North Waziristan, Pakistan's restive tribal region bordering Afghanistan.
The drone fired two missiles at the house that killed four people present inside while leaving one other injured, Xinhua reported.
The strike destroyed the house completely besides making cracks in the nearby buildings.
Soon after the attack local people rushed to the site and started rescue work as there is no official rescue service available in the area.
Thursday's strike is the second in the current month. Earlier on March 10, a US drone targeted a house in the Tehsil Boya area of the same region and killed two persons.
It is also the 10th strike of its kind in Pakistan's Northwestern tribal areas since the start of the current year, killing 64 people in total.
Pakistan has been protesting and expressing its reservations over such attacks, terming them as the violation of its sovereignty
