According to the official sources, the US drone targeted a vehicle at Margha area near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border which resulted in killing of four people.
This is the fourteenth US drone attack in the area this year.
The region — where the Pakistani military has been waging a major offensive since June — has long been used as shelter by Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked militants, and has been frequently targeted by US drones.
There has been a spike in drone attacks in North Waziristan this month.
For almost a decade, American drone strikes in Pakistan's tribal belt have been deeply unpopular with the public.
Pakistani officials have publicly condemned the drone strikes saying they violate sovereignty.
