A US missile strike Wednesday killed at least four militants in a restive Pakistani tribal area bordering Afghanistan, security officials said.

The strike took place in Hamzoni village of North Waziristan tribal district which is infested with Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked militants.

"US drones fired five missiles on two militant vehicles around 7:15 am," a senior security official told AFP.

"Four militants were killed in the missile strike," the official said.

Another security official and two intelligence officials confirmed the death toll.
