Dec 16 drone strike in Afghanistan killed four TTP militants: Afghan official

KABUL: A US drone strike on Wednesday killed at least four Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants in eastern Afghanistan, Express News reported.

Seven other insurgents were also killed, an Afghan district official said, according to Reuters.

Mahlem Mashuq, the governor of Sherzad district in Nangarhar province, said the drone's missiles hit a pickup truck killing all 11 occupants on Tuesday afternoon, as members of the TTP were staging a siege on a school in Peshawar near the Afghan border.
