ISLAMABAD (AP) — A pair of missiles fired from an unmanned American spy aircraft slammed into a militant hideout in northwestern Pakistan on Monday evening, killing five militants, said Pakistani intelligence officials.

The two officials said missiles from the drone aircraft hit the village of Dawar Musaki in the North Waziristan region, which borders Afghanistan to the west. The officials spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Some of the dead were believed to be foreign fighters but the officials did not know how many or where they were from.

The CIA’s drone program is extremely controversial in Pakistan where residents view it as an affront to their sovereignty and contend it often results in civilian deaths. Washington says the program is vital to combating militants that threaten the U.S. and who use Pakistan’s tribal regions as a safe haven.
