Peshawar, Pakistan (CNN) -- At least 13 suspected militants were killed in a tribal region of Pakistan near the Afghan border Wednesday, apparently by missiles fired from unmanned U.S. aircraft, two Pakistani intelligence sources told CNN.

The strikes are the fourth and fifth suspected drone strikes in less than a week, and come after a suicide bomber killed seven Central Intelligence Agency officers and contractors on December 30.

The first incident took place around 3:50 p.m. and the second just over an hour later, apparently targeting militants who gathered at the scene of the first attack. One source said 13 had been killed, and another put the number of dead at 14.

The strikes took place in the Sanazala area of the Dattakhel subdivision of the North Waziristan region, the largely autonomous tribal region near the border with Afghanistan.
