WANA: Missile strikes by U.S. drone aircraft killed 10 people in South Waziristan on Wednesday, intelligence officials said, in an operation bound to deepen tensions in the region.
"There was a huge blast and we can see smoke rising from the compound," said a witness in Wana, South Waziristan's main town.
Seven people were killed in the compound, a local intelligence official said. Missiles targeted a vehicle also killed three others.
There was no way to independently verify the incident. (Reuters)
