A suspected U.S. drone strike on a house in a remote tribal area bordering Afghanistan has killed at least seven militants, Pakistan security officials said on Thursday.

If confirmed, the attack would be the second drone raid under the administration of Donald Trump. The suspected strike happened on Wednesday in the Lawara Mandi area of North Waziristan, one of seven tribal districts stretching along the border with Afghanistan. The previous strike under the Trump government killed two men riding a motorbike in northwestern Kurram in March.
