PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) — At least 16 people were killed and seven others were injured on Sunday when a missile hit a house in a restive Pakistani tribal area bordering Afghanistan, state television said.
Residents said they heard several blasts after missiles fired from an unknown site hit a residential compound in Doog village in the tribal district of South Waziristan.
Foreigners linked with Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants were believed to be staying at the compound near Wana, the main town in the area, the residents said.
“Militants have cordoned the blast site and are taking out bodies from the rubble,” one local tribesman told AFP.
