A US drone strike has killed three people in Pakistan’s northwestern tribal area of North Waziristan, which borders Afghanistan.
The attack took place early on Thursday when the drone fired two missiles on a building in the central market of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan.
"A US drone fired two missiles on the first floor of a shop in the main market and at least three militants were killed," a senior official said
There has been a dramatic increase in US drone strikes in Pakistan since a NATO summit in Chicago ended last month without a deal to end a six-month blockade on NATO supplies crossing into Afghanistan.
At least four people had been killed in another US drone attack on the same town on Wednesday.
