What Happened?
27 June 2011: At around 2015 hours, a U.S. drone fired two missiles at a house in the Manitoi Malikshai area of Tehsil Shakkai. Between 10 and 21 people were killed, with at least two people injured in the attack.
A local man Hajji Malak Dildar reported that 20 civilians had been killed, while news reports claimed all 20 men were militants affiliated with the Hakimullah Mahsud-led TTP. These reports remain unconfirmed and the property was completely destroyed.
Given the lack of any independent inquiry on victim identification, this drone attack is considered undocumented.
