The chief of Pakistan Taliban (Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan or TTP), Mullah Fazlullah, was reportedly killed in a drone strike in Afghanistan, Pakistan media reported.

Unconfirmed media reports said at least five people, including Fazlullah, his wife and his son, were killed in a drone strike carried out on the Pakistan Taliban chief's house in Afghanistan's Nangarhar province on Monday evening, according to Daily Times.

The reports of Fazlullah's are death yet to be confirmed by the Pakistani authorities.

Afghan authorities, on the other hand, confirmed the killing of Taliban commander Qari Hedayatullah in the drone strike while saying that they don't have any information on Fazlullah's death, according to Hindustan Times. 

"Earlier we had reports that he was living in Afghanistan's province of Nuristan. We don't know if he moved to Nangarhaar. However, Pakistani officials have said nothing of this sort right now as far as I know. They'll only say something after the confirmation," a senior Afghan journalist told Dunya News.

It is not first time reports about Fazlullah's death appeared in Pakistani media. Earlier, there were several reports of the Pakistan Taliban chief being killed in an airstrike in Afghanistan.

Mullah Fazlullah, known as "Mullah Radio," was the mastermind of the Peshawar school massacre that killed 148 people, mostly schoolchildren.
