Siege of Urgun

The siege of Urgun was a military engagement that took place during the Soviet–Afghan War. Between August 1983 and January 1984, Mujahideen forces laid siege to the town of Urgun, which was defended by a garrison of troops loyal to the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. The mujahideen tried to take the town by storm using tanks, but despite making initial progress, they were eventually driven back and the siege was lifted.
