The Siege of Khost: during the nine-year Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s and the subsequent Afghan civil war, the town of Khost was besieged for more than eleven years. Its airstrip's 3 km runway served as a base for helicopter operations by Soviet forces.
Operation Magistral was an offensive launched to relieve it at the end of 1987. The first convoys reached Khost at the end of December 1987. When the main Soviet force had withdrawn, Mujahideen groups cut off Khost once again, as they had done since 1981.
Following the creation of the Commander's Shura, which united the Peshawar Seven and assault was coordinated to capture Khost, an assault which at least according to former special envoy to the Mujahideen Peter Tomsen was more an ISI operation than a Mujahideen one. This fighting was a co-ordinated attack by the forces of Hezb-e Islami of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, Jalaluddin Haqqani and local Ahmadzai tribes led by Mohammad Nabi Mohammadi. The Ahmadzai were able to spearhead the assault after Hezb-e Islam and Haqqania suffered setbacks, and eventually able to capture the city and negotiate the surrender of the garrison resulting in victory on April 11, 1991.
Khost or Khowst (Pashto/Persian: خوست) is a city in eastern Afghanistan. The capital of Khost Province is Matoon.

Some of the main tribes are Zadran, Mangal, Zazi, Tani, Gurbaz, Muqbal, and Sabari. The city of Khost has a population of 106,083 (in 2015). it has 6 districts and a total land area of 7,139 Hectares. The total number of dwellings in this city are 11,787.
During the nine-year Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, the town was besieged from July 1983 to November 1987. Khost Airfield, with its 9,000-foot (2,700 m) runway, served as a base for helicopter operations for the Soviet military.
American forces have used the Khost Airfield since as early as at least January 2007 during the War in Afghanistan (2001–present) that commenced in October 2001.
#afghanistan #khost #afghan Khost , Afghanistan , after driving through Paktia and realizing it was too late to get to the park we wanted to visit, we decided to keep driving to khost City in Khost province . Khost surprised me at how modern it was compared to some places id been. We couldn’t find the ministry of Culture here to get the local permit to be able to walk around freely and make vlogs , so we ended up just making the journey back with a few as usual , entertaining interactions along the way , which included me shoveling snow ! As always the most welcoming kind lovely people as there aee everywhere in Afghanistan ! Love these road trips to different provinces , and yes i drove the car , ive seen multiple women drive in kabul , one was even in my livestream :) Thanks as always...
