ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, July 3 (UPI) -- Missiles fired Friday from a suspected unmanned drone targeting militants' facilities in Pakistan's tribal area killed several people, officials said.
Dawn newspaper, quoting a local resident, reported 11 people died in the attacks on two villages in South Waziristan, believed to be the stronghold of Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud.
Geo TV, quoting sources, reported 13 people died and several were injured in two missile attacks.
The Dawn report quoted two officials as saying the missiles hit a suspected training facility and a militants' hideout.
South Waziristan is the focus of the Pakistani military's current campaign in its hunt for Mehsud.
The lawless tribal belt near the border with Afghanistan is believed where top Taliban and al-Qaida leaders are holed up.
