The Siege of Khost: during the nine-year Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, the town of Khost was besieged for more than eleven years. Its airstrip's 3km runway served as a base for helicopter operations by Soviet forces. Operation Magistral was an offensive launched to relieve it at end of 1987. The first convoys reached Khost end of December 1987. When the main Soviet force had withdrawn, Mujahideen groups cut off Khost once again, as they had done since 1981.

- The Siege of Khost: during the nine-year Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, the town of Khost was besieged for more than eleven years. Its airstrip's 3km runway served as a base for helicopter operations by Soviet forces. Operation Magistral was an offensive launched to relieve it at end of 1987. The first convoys reached Khost end of December 1987. When the main Soviet force had withdrawn, Mujahideen groups cut off Khost once again, as they had done since 1981. Khost finally fell without fighting to the mujahideen forces of Jalaluddin Haqqani on April 11, 1991, after negotiations with the garrison.
- El Sitio de Hawst tuvo lugar desde 1980 hasta el 11 de abril de 1991, entre el ejército soviético, respaldado por la República Democrática de Afganistán, y los muyahidines afganos durante la Intervención soviética en la Guerra Civil Afgana. Finamente, la ciudad cayó ante los muyaidines. Aunque la guerra se prolongó durante nueve años, la ciudad de Hawst fue sitiada durante más de once. Su pista de aterrizaje de 3 kilómetros sirvió de base para operaciones con helicópteros de las fuerzas soviéticas. Para alivir la situación que sufría la plaza, a finales de 1987 se lanzó una ofensiva llamada Operación Magistral. Los primeros convoyes de habituallamiento llegaron a Hawst en diciembre de 1987. Cuando la principal fuerza soviética se retiró, grupos de muyahidines sitiaron la ciudad una vez más, como llevaban haciendo desde 1981. Finalmente, Hawst capituló ante los muyahidines comandados por Jalaluddin Haqqani el 11 de abril de 1991, después de varias negociaciones con la guarnición.
