At least six militants were killed in a presumed US drone strike in Miranshah, in Pakistan [2]'s North Waziristan tribal region. The missiles hit a small convoy of vehicles minutes before the scheduled iftar time, when the Ramadan fast is broken. After the attack, Taliban militants barricaded the site and shifted the bodies to an undisclosed location. At least four drones continued to hover over the region for an hour after the attack. Over 900 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in more than 200 drone strikes [3] in Pakistan's northwest tribal areas since 2008. (ANI [4], Aug. 22)
