Darpan News Desk IANS, 24 Sep, 2014 10:53 AM
    At least 10 people were killed in a US drone strike in Pakistan's North Waziristan Agency Wednesday, media reported.
     
    The drone targeted a vehicle in Alwara Mandi in the region. Foreigners were among those killed in the drone strike, Geo News reported citing sources.
     
    The Pakistan Army is also conducting operation Zarb-i-Azb in the area against local and foreign militants. 
     
    The operation was initiated June 15 following a brazen militant attack on Karachi's international airport and failure of peace talks between the government and Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) negotiators.
     
    According to an earlier report, at least six people were killed and many injured in the drone attack.
