First Battle of Uruzgan


The First Battle of Uruzgan took place in Uruzgan on August 9, 1892 between the Uruzgani Hazaras and the Emirate of Afghanistan during the Hazara Uprisings.
When the Afghan forces under the leadership of Brigadier Zabardast Khan, were challenged by a force of Uruzgani Hazaras, the Afghan forces suffered a decisive defeat in a fierce battle.
When the news of this defeat reached his brother, Faiz Mohammad Khan, he assembled another Afghan force and marched towards Uruzgan. There, he engaged the Uruzgani Hazaras in battle but suffered significant losses, losing 1,000 men. Following the defeat, Faiz retreated to a nearby Afghan fort, where he and his remaining troops were besieged by the Hazaras.
After enduring a month-long siege, Faiz Mohammad Khan ultimately surrendered to the Hazaras. The Hazaras then took control of the fort, massacred the Afghan troops inside, and hunted down the remaining survivors.
