A US drone strike in Pakistan's Waziristan tribal region killed four suspected militants on Thursday, Reuters reported.
The drone targeted a house near Afghan border, Pakistani officials told Reuters
"Taliban fighters had started hiding here in rented buildings and those killed are believed to be militants," an official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
This comes as a US drone strike on Wednesday killed at least ten Taliban insurgents in North Waziristan region.
The drone strikes were halted after a Nato air assault killed 24 Pakistani soldiers near the border with Afghanistan on November 26th last year.
The attacks were resumed on Pakistan's tribal regions on January 10th this year.
North Waziristan is an important hideout of the Taliban, al-Qaeda and Haqqani Networks. Haqqani is considered to be the deadliest adversaries in Afghanistan.
The networks are accused several high profile attacks on important Afghan and foreign buildings including the attack on US embassy and the Nato compound in Kabul.
