A suspected US missile strike Thursday killed at least 10 people in Pakistan's restive tribal region, an intelligence official said, DPA reported.
The airstrike came just a day after Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi told the US point man on Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke, that such drone attacks would undermine relations between the two states.
Two missiles, believed to be fired from a pilotless aircraft on Thursday, flattened a seminary and an adjacent house in a remote part of North Waziristan, a tribal district bordering Afghanistan.
"According to initial reports received for the far-off area, at least 10 insurgents have been killed in a drone strike," an intelligence official said on condition of anonymity.
There was no word on the identities of those killed in the attack.
North Waziristan, a known sanctuary of al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters mounting cross-border attacks on Western forces in Afghanistan, has seen intensified US missile strikes in recent weeks. More than half a dozen have taken place this month.
Pakistan publicly opposes the air raids, saying they violate the country's territorial sovereignty and stoke anti-American sentiments among the local population.
