At least six people were killed and three others injured during a U.S. drone strike launched Sunday night in Pakistan's northwest tribal area of North Waziristan, reported local media.
According to the report, the U.S. drone fired three missiles targeting at a house and a car in the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan, leaving the house and the car completely damaged.
Located along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area, North Waziristan is considered to be a major stronghold of militants in the country.
Despite the fact that the U.S. drone strike is mainly targeting at the militants active in the area, many innocent people have also been mistakenly killed in such strikes, causing a strong resentment against the United States among the local people.
