At least three people died in a missile attack on a Pakistani tribal region near the Afghan border, say officials.
Unmanned US aircraft are reported to have fired the missiles into the town of Miran Shah in North Waziristan.
Two drones were spotted in the skies above the town just before the strike, local officials said.
The United States has launched several missile strikes against suspected militant targets in the border region with Afghanistan in recent weeks.
On Thursday, a suspected US missile strike killed at least eight people in another North Waziristan village.
The United States rarely confirms or denies such attacks.
American military commanders blame militants based in the tribal areas for the increase in attacks on coalition forces in Afghanistan.
