ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- Suspected U.S. drone missiles struck a militants' stronghold Friday in the South Waziristan tribal region, killing three people, Pakistani officials said.
A similar reported attack the previous day near the same area close to the border with Afghanistan also killed three people, the BBC reported, quoting officials.
The latest strikes targeted an area in the Ladha district, the stronghold of Baitullah Mehsud, the leader of Pakistani Taliban.
The report quoted officials as saying the unmanned drone fired two missiles at an abandoned government school. Witnesses said the three dead people, who were Pakistani members of a militant group, had been using the building as their camp.
