At least three people were killed and two injured during a US drone strike in Pakistan's restive north Waziristan tribal region, a media report said Thursday.

Thursday's strike is the fifth consecutive drone attack in the last five days, as the US-led drone campaign targeted suspected militants and their hideouts in north and south Waziristan near the Afghan border.
