Non-UN-sanctioned U.S. drone strikes in the troubled northwestern Pakistan have left at least 46 people dead and several others injured in the past two days.

Two unmanned U.S. planes fired four missiles at two houses located in Pakistan's North Waziristan on Tuesday, a Press TV correspondent reported.
The strike, the third in less than 24 hours, took place in Ghulam Khan village 20 kilometers east of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan tribal district, killing five people just minutes before 12 others lost their lives in a second air strike.
On Monday, an unmanned U.S. plane fired five missiles at a vehicle and a house in North Waziristan, claiming the lives of 22 people.
The American airstrikes in Pakistan have increased since U.S. President Barack Obama took office in 2009.
Washington claims its air raids target militants who cross the Pakistani border into Afghanistan to help the Taliban fight U.S.-led foreign forces.
However, locals say civilians are the main victims of the non-UN-sanctioned attacks. Thousands of civilians have reportedly been killed in about 200 drone raids over the past six years.
Islamabad condemns the strikes as a violation of its sovereignty, asserting that such attacks have proved counterproductive in U.S.-led war against terrorism.
