Missiles fired from a US drone aircraft killed five suspected militants at a training compound in Pakistan's lawless northwest tribal belt on Sunday, officials said.The missiles slammed into a building near the town of Mirali about 25 kilometres east of Miramshah, capital of the insurgency-plagued tribal region of North Waziristan, which borders Afghanistan.
"Two missiles landed on a militant compound in Zor Babar Aidak village near Mirali town," said a security official based in Miranshah.
"The US drone strike killed five people and wounded three others."
A local government official confirmed the strike, and said the targeted compound was used for training insurgents.
