US drone strikes kill 14 in Pakistan

Despite the Pakistani government’s repeated calls on Washington to end the drone attacks on civilians, at least 10 people were killed in a US drone attack on village of Mana Raghzai in South Waziristan.

The causalities come after two drones fired four missiles at a house in the troubled region on Sunday morning.

It’s the second attack in the area in the past 24 hours and the sixth over the past two weeks.

Earlier on Saturday, the US drones pounded a building in Pakistan’s tribal region of South Waziristan, leaving at least four people killed and several others injured.

Waziristan and other tribal regions in northwestern Pakistan have been frequently targeted by US drones over the past few years.

Washington has been using its assassination drones in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia and claims that it is targeting terrorists, but civilians have been killed in the attacks.

Figures show that the American drone strikes have killed at least 212 people in Yemen and Pakistan in the month of May.

The aerial attacks were initiated by former US President George W. Bush but have been escalated under President Barack Obama.
