Pakistan says coalition forces in Afghanistan had earlier this week launched a missile strike into its tribal region, killing 14 people.

Chief military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas says Islamabad has conveyed its protest and is awaiting a response from the coalition forces.

Major Abbas confirmed two missiles were fired from a drone belonging to coalition forces deployed in Afghanistan, in wednesday's strike.

The strike came as militants were negotiating a deal with the new Pakistani government.
