It was the second drone attack Monday, Dawn online reported.
Intelligence sources said the drone targeted the residence of Taliban commander Habib in Shawal district, which stretches across both North and South Waziristan tribal regions.

On Sunday, a drone strike had killed five people in Kand Ghar area of South Waziristan.
