A missile strike destroyed an insurgent hideout in Pakistan’s tribal belt at a house once owned by the late military chief of the Taliban, killing nine people, witnesses and sources said, AFP reports from Miranshah.

It was not clear who was responsible for the missile attack. Residents and local sources said drones flew over the site in the village of Danday Darpakhel before two missiles hit the site, one of which exploded and destroyed the house formerly owned by slain Taliban commander Mullah Dadullah.

Local sources said at least nine militants were killed and 12 others wounded in the blast. Two foreign militants were among the dead, they said, quoting injured rebels.“The blast was so big that pieces of flesh were stuck to the walls of surrounding houses,” said a local resident.
