Suspected US drones have fired missiles into a compound used by anti-government fighters in Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt, killing at least 16 people, officials said. The missile strike on Saturday morning occurred in the Angoor Ada area of South Waziristan, official sources told Al Jazeera.
Agence France-Presse, citing an unnamed Pakistani security official, reported that two US drone aircraft had executed the strike, firing four missiles.
Intelligence officials in Wana, South Waziristan's main town, and Peshawar also confirmed the attack.
South Waziristan was the scene of a major Pakistani assault last year. It became the focus of the Pakistani military's offensive against Taliban sympathisers after earlier assaults in the Swat valley and Buner.
