According to local officials, the unmanned aircraft targeted South Waziristan’s tribal region, on Thursday. 

The aircraft reportedly fired four missiles on a regional compound in the area. Initial reports said 11 were killed in the attack.

On Wednesday, at least five people were killed in a similar strike in North Waziristan. 

Earlier this week, Pakistanis took part in a massive two-day peace march led by major Pakistani opposition figure, Imran Khan, in protest against US assassination drone strikes in the country. 

The drone strikes have contributed to the rise of anti-US sentiment. 

Despite Pakistani government’s repeated calls on Washington to end the drone attacks, the US government continues its strikes on the tribal regions of the country. 

The aerial attacks were initiated by former US President George W. Bush, but have escalated under President Barack Obama. 

The drone strikes have triggered massive anti-US demonstrations across Pakistan to condemn the United States’ violations of their national sovereignty.
