Islamabad, September 18: A suspected US missile strike killed at least six people on Wednesday, hours after the top US military officer told Pakistani leaders that America respected Pakistan’s sovereignty amid a furor over American strikes into Pakistan’s northwest.

Two Pakistani intelligence officials said that several missiles hit a compound in the South Waziristan tribal region on Wednesday evening. The officials said the target was a base for Taliban militants and Hezb-i-Islami, another group fighting US and Government troops in neighbouring Afghanistan.

The officials said an unmanned drone of the type used by the CIA and US forces in Afghanistan was heard in the area shortly before the attack.
