(dailynewyorknews) – The United States launched its first drone attack in Pakistan after more than a truce for a month, killing at least four suspected militants.

The drone fired two missiles on Tuesday in a suspected militant compound near the provincial capital of Miranshah in North Waziristan, located in the unstable region of the country’s tribal belt bordering Afghanistan.

That represents an apparent end of the pause in U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan, arrested last year after a controversial series of U.S. attacks left two dozen Pakistani soldiers were killed in two mountain crossings and more strained relations between the two nations.

The Pakistani military has repeatedly insisted that the air strikes that killed 24 of its soldiers on November 26, near the border with Afghanistan have been deliberate. Shortly after the government ordered the army to evacuate a U.S. air base used to launch the drone attacks.

A U.S. research blamed the attacks on the lack of communication and “lack of coordination” between the two nations that led to the fatal incident.

Brig. General Stephen A. Clark said last month that a team from the coalition to move towards an Afghan village near the Pakistani border, were attacked by “direct and very heavy” machine gun fire and mortars coming.

The ground commander responded with a “show of force” with a jet F-15 and AC-130′s awareness of his presence and dropped flares to illuminate the area, said Clark. When the mortar fire and do not stop, air strikes were called in

However, Pakistani officials have said that the operating procedures and established a complex system of exchange of operational information were deliberately ignored, leading to death.

The disagreement is believed to have eroded the already fragile relations between the U.S. and Pakistan.
