At least seven people have been killed in a missile strike in north-west Pakistan, security officials say.
Unconfirmed reports said a US drone fired four missiles at a compound in North Waziristan and two cars parked outside were destroyed.
The US military has stepped up its attacks on militant targets in the tribal areas near the Afghan border.
Earlier this month, five German nationals died in a drone strike linked to an alleged al-Qaeda European plot.
The drone was said to have first attacked a camp housing Afghan refugees close to the town of Mir Ali, destroying a house and two cars
Minutes later, two people were killed in a missile attack close to a river bank outside the camp, Associated Press reports.
Although the target of the raid is not clear, the area is said to be dominated by a militant group that regularly attacks troops with the Nato-led force in Afghanistan.
