Islamabad: At least nine people, including six foreigners, were killed and several others injured in a missile strike by a suspected US drone in Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal region on Thursday night.
The foreigners, killed in the attack, were believed to be Arabs, TV channels reported.
According to the reports, the drone fired several missiles at a house in Tappi village in the area and four explosions were heard.
The house of a tribesman named Sahar Gul was targetted in the attack.
Pakistan has in recent past strongly opposed violation of its air space by US planes.
President Asif Ali Zardari has vowed zero tolerance against violations of Pakistan's sovereignty after US missile strikes into militant safe havens in Pakistan's tribal areas.
Relations have also been strained between the two countries after a reported raid by US special operations forces into Pakistan last month.
