A government official said Wednesday a suspected US drone strike targeted a compound in Afghanistan, killing three local Taliban militants.
Kamran Afridi, an official in the town of Miran Shah, said the strike took place just across the Afghan border in the village of Gurowek in Khost province.
A Taliban commander who identified himself as Abdullah Waziristani confirmed the attack, saying the targeted compound belonged to a local Taliban commander. There was no immediate confirmation from inside Khost province.
