Khar (Pakistan), Oct 30: Pakistan Army helicopters carried out a strike tody on a compound housing 70 to 80 militants on the border with Afghanistan, Pakistan military spokesman Shaukat Sultan said.

Sultan said no prominent militant was believed to be in the compound in Chenagai village, 10 km (six miles) north of Khar, the main town in the Bajaur tribal region. ''Military training was going on there as per our information,'' he said.
