6 June 2011: At 1045 hours, three US Drone missiles were fired over a Banjo Motor Car parked in the village of Manra Tehsil Birmal in South Waziristan Agency.
This was the third and final drone strike of the day, killing up to five alleged militants from the group of Hafiz Gul Bahadar group in the border area between North and South Waziristan. This drone strike was 30 kilometers away from the first strike of the day and took place eight hours after the first two attacks.
Given the lack of any independent inquiry on victim identification, this drone attack is considered undocumented.
