PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - A pilotless U.S. drone aircraft fired a missile in northwest Pakistan on Saturday, killing 13 people including some foreign militants, security officials and residents said.

The attack was in the North Waziristan region, a stronghold of al Qaeda and Taliban militants on the Afghan border, in an area 35 km (20 miles) west of the region's main town of Miranshah at about 3 a.m. (6 p.m. EDT on Friday), they said.

"The missile hit a house where some guests were staying," one intelligence agency official said, referring to foreign militants.

"We have information that 13 people were killed including some guests," said the official, who declined to be identified.

One resident, Amir Shah, said drones were still flying over the area several hours after the attack.
