(CNN) -- Pakistani helicopter gunships converged Wednesday night on a suspected terrorist compound near the Afghan border, killing "a number" of militants, including some foreigners, according to a military statement read on Pakistani television.

The military targeted the compound near Miran Shah in the country's North Waziristan province, a tribal area, said army spokesman Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan.

A U.S. intelligence official said that Pakistan was still trying to determine who was killed or captured and that it was too early to tell if any high-level terrorist operatives were among them. . .
