## Record

**Verified extract — [Fact — B1]** BBC reported local officials saying 19 people died in three US drone strikes in north-west Pakistan on Sunday, a day after a similar raid killed 16 others. Officials said 10 suspected militants died in a Sunday-morning strike in the Shaktoi area of South Waziristan; later raids killed five in Tabbi Tolkhel, North Waziristan, and four in Srarogha, South Waziristan. The piece recalled the previous week's BBC investigation that more than 700 people had died in such strikes since January 2009, and a Taliban spokesman then telling the BBC militants had been affected but would win. Saturday's missile strike by an unmanned US plane killed 16 suspected insurgents at a compound in Dwasarak village, South Waziristan, near the Afghan border, Pakistani security officials said. The region was virtually inaccessible to journalists. The piece said the attacks fuelled strong anti-American sentiment in Pakistan.

**Kinematic object.** Unmanned US aircraft firing missiles at Shaktoi, Tabbi Tolkhel, Srarogha and Dwasarak.

**Coverage frame.** military / incident

## Source integrity

- Why this is treated as an original: BBC same-cycle follow-up with a new weekend death total and named localities.
- Wire reprint status: Local-official sourcing; BBC is the first-publisher English page fetched.
- What was excluded: the Saturday Dwasarak-only piece (separate identity).

## LRRK relevance

Watch / Campaign. A Watch desk would have updated the weekend strike tally to 35 across four named sites.
