Battle Of Unai Pass

The Battle Of Unai Pass took place at Unai Pass in 1929, during the Afghan Civil War when the Saqqawist army was trying to cross the Unai Pass to subjugate the Hazaras of Jang Kala. The battle was from June 28 to July 10, and several raids and offensives after that until the fall of the Saqqawists. The Hazara volunteers from Jang Kala under the leadership of Fateh Mohammad Khan defended their positions and launched a few attacks on the Saqqawists in Jalrez and the surrounding areas. The hordes of the Saqqawist army were successfully repelled by the Hazaras and the Saqqawist army retreated after many of them got killed or got captured. This was one of the battles recorded between the Hazaras and the Saqqawists when trying to enter Hazarajat
