Suspected US drone strikes near Kurram Agency kill 5

[DAWN] A suspected United States drone killed five people in an attack on a compound in Kurram Agency

on Monday, officials said.

At least four missiles were fired during the strike in the Kurram Agency close to the Afghan border, said the officials.

"Five people have been killed in a dronezap on a suspected Death Eater's house," an intelligence official told AFP. A local administration official also confirmed the toll.

The dronezap was reported days after the Pakistain Army said that it had recovered "safe and sound" a family of foreign hostages from the custody of a terrorist outfit after it received and acted on intelligence shared by the United States (US).

On Monday, one official claimed that the target was a suspected Death Eater Abu Bakar, commander of the Haqqani network.

An attack in the same region in September left three people dead and two maimed.

It is the second such strike since US President Donald Trump

in August accused Pakistain of offering "safe havens" to myrmidons.
