A missile fired by a drone struck a vehicle near Navana village in Mirali sub-division this morning, killing three militants. The identity of the dead militants is yet to be ascertained.
The attack came hours after a similar strike in Mirali, officials of the local political administration said.
Five militants were killed last night when a drone fired two missiles at a compound at Machikhel village in Mirali.
North Waziristan has witnessed several drone attacks in recent weeks, including a coordinated strike that was carried out by at least five pilotless planes.
