At least five people were killed in a US drone strike North Waziristan tribal region where the Pak Army launched a full-scale military offensive (Zerb-e-Azb) last year.
According to sources, a US drone fire two missiles on a suspected militant compound Shahi Khel neighborhood of Shawal Valley in North Waziristan, one of seven semi-autonomous tribal districts that border Afghanistan.
The Pakistan Army launched a major offensive in the area in June and says it has killed more than 1,800 militants so far, with 126 soldiers having lost their lives.
The latest strikes came after Pakistan ramped up its anti-terror strategy in the wake of a December 16 attack on an army-run school in Peshawar that killed 150 people, 134 of them children.
