MIRANSHAH, Pakistan (AFP) — A suspected missile strike destroyed buildings including a mosque in a Pakistani tribal area early Monday, but there were no immediate reports of casualties, security officials said.
At least two blasts ripped through the compound in Spilga, a village on the outskirts of Miranshah, the main town in the Taliban stronghold of North Waziristan, the officials told AFP.
No casualties were reported after the explosions, which happened shortly after midnight (1800 GMT), said the officials who are based in the region.
Officials in Islamabad said they had no details.
Missile attacks attributed to US-led forces in neighbouring Afghanistan in the past have claimed the lives of several militants in Pakistan’s volatile tribal belt.
More than a dozen people were killed in a missile strike in the Bajaur tribal region in May. The Pakistani military said it had lodged a protest with the US-led coalition over that attack.
