The First Battle of Uruzgan took place in Uruzgan on August 9, 1892 between the Uruzgani Hazaras and the Kingdom of Afghanistan during the famous Hazara Uprisings.[1]
When the Afghan forces under the leadership of Brigadier Zabardast Khan were challenged by a force of Uruzgani Hazaras, the Afghan forces were defeated in a fierce battle.[2] When the news of this defeat reached his brother, Faiz Mohammad Khan, he prepared a force of Afghans and marched towards Uruzgan where he also fought the Uruzgani Hazaras and after the battle, he lost 1000 men, Faiz then fled to a nearby Afghan fort where he and his men were sieged by the Hazaras, after a month of the siege, Faiz decided to surrender to the Hazaras. The Hazaras took the fort and massacred the Afghan troops and hunted the rest of them.[3]
