"It happened close to the border," a Pakistani military officer said.
"We have reports of 10 dead but it will take time to get more information."
The North Waziristan region is a reputed stronghold of the Taliban and al-Qaeda linked fighters.
Other Pakistani officials told the AFP news agency that up to 14 fighters were killed when the missile strike destroyed an al-Qaeda training camp.

This is the typical tactic by these Muslim cowards. Hide behind their womens skirts, and then cry foul when their homes are attacked. These terrorists raid another town or province, then run home, and expect no one to retaliate because they are now among their women. They put their own families in danger.

I disagree. I know a few Muslims who could be among the bravest men I've known. I think you need to reconsider the 'Muslim' traits you seem to be espousing as 'typical'. Such generalizations generally come off as ignorant and bigoted.
Respect peace.
KHAR, Pakistan (AFP) – The death toll from a suicide bombing against government-backed tribal elders fighting Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants in northwest Pakistan has risen to 22, officials said Friday.
A suicide attacker blew himself up on Thursday as the elders met in Batmalai, about 40 kilometres (25 miles) northeast of Khar, the main town in the semi-autonomous Bajaur district bordering Afghanistan.
"Five more people died overnight in different hospitals raising the death toll in the attack to 22," local police official Fazal-i-Rabi told AFP.
KHAR, Pakistan – Two suicide bombers attacked pro-government tribesmen and security forces Thursday in Pakistan's volatile northwest, killing at least 19 people and wounding dozens, officials said.
The separate attacks came in a region where the Pakistani military has clashed for months with Islamic insurgents allied with Taliban and al-Qaida militants who are involved in attacks on American and NATO troops in neighboring Afghanistan.
U.S. officials have praised Pakistan for getting tougher on militants, but the offensives have escalated extremist bloodshed in the Muslim nation where anti-American sentiment runs deep.
