A US drone strike on a compound has killed at least ten people in northwest Pakistan's tribal region near the Afghan border, officials said.

"The drone fired two missiles on a house in Hassokhel town," 25km east of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan, a security official said on Thursday, a day after a similar attack killed four people in the same region.
