Up to 12 militants were killed in a missile attack in
northwestern Pakistan's tribal area on Tuesday, local TV channel
DAWN NEWS reported.
The missile strike took place in Mir Ali Tehsil of North
Waziristan bordering Afghanistan.
It was not clear who fired the missile, but local witnesses said
the missile could possibly be fired from a mountain in
Afghanistan.
The area was close to the region of Afghan where US-led
coalition forces are fighting Taliban militants.
There is still no official confirmation about the missile
attack.
