MIRAMSHAH: A US drone strike in Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt on Tuesday killed four militants, destroying their vehicle, local security officials said.

The strike took place in Spalga village, 15 kilometres south of Miramshah, the main town of the North Waziristan tribal district, near the Afghan border.

“It was a US drone strike, which targeted a militant's vehicle, killing four rebels,” a senior local security official told AFP.

Another security official confirmed the strike and said the drone fired two missiles.
