ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Aug. 31 (UPI) -- At least four people were killed and two others wounded in Pakistan by a missile attack from neighboring Afghanistan, officials said.

The missile, fired from Afghanistan by coalition troops, hit a house in the Tapni area, KUNA, the Kuwaiti news agency, reported Sunday.

The news agency reported that sources said the house had been harboring foreigners, but it was not immediately clear whether any foreign nationals were among those killed.

On Saturday four missiles hit a house in neighboring South Waziristan tribal agency. That attack killed five people, including two Canadian nationals of Arab origin, and wounded two others.
