A missile attack on a compound in North Waziristan Agency a little while ago killed at least eight suspected militants.
The strike took place in the Shawal area of North Waziristan tribal district bordering Afghanistan, where the military is battling Taliban militants.
Pakistan began a long-awaited push to clear insurgent bases from North Waziristan last June after a bloody Taliban attack on Karachi airport sank faltering peace talks.
The army has intensified its Zerb-e-Azb offensive since the Taliban’s massacre of 153 people, mostly children, in a school in Peshawar in December.
