Pakistan Officials Report Deadly Missile Strike

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) ― Pakistani officials say an explosion has destroyed at least one house near the Afghan border, killing several suspected foreign militants.

Two Pakistani intelligence officials say informers in the area told them drone aircraft were seen near Gurwak village in the North Waziristan region just before the blast on Friday and that they believed the aircraft had fired missiles.

The officials say five suspected foreign militants were killed and several others injured. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media.

Army spokesman Maj. Murad Khan confirms the explosion and says officials are investigating.
