Officials said that four missiles struck a mud compound.
Reuters cites unnamed military intelligence officials as identifying one of the victims as Mohammad Ahmed Almansoor, a senior Al-Qaeda commander.
A similar attack on December 6 killed another senior Al-Qaeda member.
Hundreds of people have been killed in U.S. drone strikes in northwest Pakistan, where Washington is seeking to root out senior Al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters fueling an insurgency campaign in Afghanistan.
