MIRAMSHAH: The death toll in drone attacks in North Waziristan rose to 18 on Tuesday, DawnNews reported.

The tribal region of North Waziristan has been targeted by US drone strikes for months.

The US says the region is home to several militant groups involved in attacks on Nato forces in Afghanistan.

Pakistan has regularly complained about the drone strikes, saying they complicate Islamabad's efforts to win the support of the Pakistani people and isolate the militants in border regions.
