Pakistani intelligence officials say the strike Saturday hit a house near the region's main town of Miran Shah.
The Pakistani government has strongly condemned the suspected U.S. strikes in the country, saying they undermine Pakistan's counter-terrorism efforts.
Pakistan's defense minister, Ahmed Mukhtar, says officials will meet in early December to discuss the strikes, which allegedly are carried out by unmanned (drone) U.S. aircraft.
