The attack happened shortly after Pashtun tribesmen shot at three drones circling the village of Khusali Toorikhel in North Waziristan, a known haunt of Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants.
"After the drones came under fire a missile hit a house in the village. We have four dead now and another nine people were injured," a local security official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
