Three suspected militants have been reportedly killed and several others injured during a US drone strike on a compound in Angar Kalli area in North Waziristan.

Intelligence officials and local sources said that the suspects were killed when two missiles were fired by a US drone on the compound.

According to Dawn, the identity of the militants could not be ascertained as the drone strike was carried out at midnight.

Sources revealed that the drones had been hovering over the area for hours.

The report said that the November 21 drone attack in the Tal area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Hangu district that killed a senior member of the Taliban-linked Haqqani network among others had come a day after the US had assured Pakistan of not conducting drone strikes targeting the leaders of TTP if dialogue began between them and the Pakistani government.
