A suspected Taliban commander was also killed in the attack.
"Daud Matta, a key Taliban commander, was also killed in the strike which took place in North Waziristan's Datta Khel area," Dawn News reported quoting sources.
"The media has no access to the agency, making it difficult to verify the information from independent sources. The ISPR is yet to issue details of the operation," it said.
