The injured, including children, were taken to hospitals in Miramshah.
Dandy Derpakhel is located near the Afghan border and considered to be a stronghold of the Haqqani network.
The locality has come under drone attacks several times in the past in which relatives of ‘Commander’ Jalaluddin Haqqani were killed.
In the second strike on Monday, five people were killed when two missiles fired by a US drone hit a place in Derga Mandi area.
