A suspected U.S. missile strike on an Islamist training camp in a Pakistani tribal area bordering Afghanistan killed at least 10 militants, officials said on Wednesday. The U.S. denied the accusation.

Four missiles slammed into two buildings in the camp in Baghar village in the troubled district of South Waziristan on Tuesday night, a senior security official said.

"At least 10 militants were killed in the strikes," the official said. He did not specify whether they were from the Taliban or al-Qaida, both of which operate in the area.

"This is their work," he said, referring to U.S.-led coalition forces deployed across the border in Afghanistan.

In Kabul, the U.S. military said the missiles were not fired by either NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) or the U.S.-led coalition.

"This is not true. We have no reports of missiles being fired into Pakistan," U.S.-led coalition spokesman Lt. Nathan Perry said.
