A US drone strike on Wednesday killed least 13 people in a suspected militant compound in Pakistan’s northwestern tribal belt, as the country’s military wages a major offensive against insurgent hideouts.


The attack came in North Waziristan, where for the past month the Pakistani military has been fighting to wipe out longstanding bases of Taliban and other militants.

"A US drone fired two missiles targeting a militant compound in Zoi Saidgai area, killing at least 13 insurgents," a senior security official in Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan, said.
