A missile strike by a US drone killed at least 13 people in a Pakistani tribal district bordering Afghanistan on Saturday, officials said.

The strike took place on a village 15 kilometres (nine miles) north of Khar, the main town of the restive Bajaur tribal district.

"I can confirm that 13 people were killed in the drone attack," a tribal administration official told AFP.

A security official said that a house was targeted in Damadola village, saying all the dead were militants, including three foreigners.
