(30 minutes later)
A suspected US missile strike has targeted Taleban militants in north-western Pakistan, according to local security officials. Three people have died in a suspected US missile strike in north-western Pakistan, say local security officials.
AFP news agency reports three people have died in the attack in the tribal region of South Waziristan, close to the Afghan border. The attack targeted Taleban militants in the South Waziristan tribal region, close to the Afghan border, they said.
The area is said to be the base of top Pakistani militant Baitullah Mehsud. Five people were also reportedly injured in the attack in an area said to be the base of top Pakistani militant Baitullah Mehsud.
The US has not confirmed the strike. It has been blamed for a number of attacks along Pakistan's border areas recently. It comes a day after a suicide car bomber killed 27 people in an attack on a police checkpoint in the north-west.
The Pakistani Taleban claimed responsibility for the blast near the town of Hangu.
The US - which has been blamed for a number of attacks along Pakistan's border areas recently - has not confirmed Sunday's strike.
"It was a drone attack," local administration official Shahab Ali Shah told AFP news agency.
South Waziristan is a haven for Taleban and al-Qaeda fighters who enter Afghanistan to fight US and Nato forces, say correspondents.
Washington says it acts only when it has clear intelligence on the whereabouts of a known militant and that the strikes help prevent terrorist attacks.
But Pakistanis complain that civilians are often killed and that the strikes are a violation of their sovereignty.
