ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- Missiles fired from a drone killed four people in Pakistan's North Waziristan, believed to be home to Taliban and al-Qaida hideouts, sources told Geo News.

Four others were injured in the incident Wednesday night in Norok district in the tribal region, the report said. No other details were available.

The Pakistani military is engaged in a major operation in neighboring South Waziristan to root out terror groups who use the tribal regions to launch cross-border attacks on U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan.
