The drone fired 8 missiles.
According to Express News, the CIA-operated drones first fired at least eight missiles at a compound in Haiderkhel area of Miranshah killing five people. Four people were also injured in the attack.
Locals are sifting through the rubble to recover the bodies of the dead and rescue the injured.
In a second attack in as many hours, drone attacks killed at least three people.
On Saturday, US drones had fired a volley of missiles at militant hideouts in northwest Pakistan on Sunday, killing at least 12 Taliban fighters near the Afghan border, security officials said.
The missile attack took place in Babar Ghar village in South Waziristan, a tribal district bordering Afghanistan which is a stronghold of Taliban and al Qaeda-linked militants.
Earlier in January, a drone strike had reportedly killed militant commander Mullah Nazir.

Drones are saving Pakistan as the military's old doctrine is in place and new one would take a few years before it is implemented.
Only Dead Taliban are Good Taliban !
Atleast someone is doing the job which the Pakistan government is supposed to do. Maybe the Pakistan government should pay the Americans to cleanup its own mess.
I wish our army would defend our land. No wonder these simple people are angry with our army.
More drones less terrorists could exist!
Drones, keep coming please. Only Drones can save us from barnarians.
Drone attack a day keeps the terrorist away.
Sweet
Drones on a roll. God Bless the USA for getting rid of the terrorists. If our politicians or generals had done something about the terrorists there would be no need for drone strikes.
And there was euphoria that the US has been defeated and is running away. By the time most of the NATO forces leave the safe havens would not be so safe anymore. They would leave several thousand troops and drones to target the terrorists.
Guess who's back
Come on ET, Do people mean terrorists??? Remember Drone never misses its target.
