The First Battle of Uruzgan took place in Uruzgan on August 9, 1892 between the Uruzgani Hazaras and the Emirate of Afghanistan during the Hazara Uprisings.[1]

After enduring a month-long siege, Faiz Mohammad Khan ultimately surrendered to the Hazaras.[1] The Hazaras then took control of the fort, massacred the Afghan troops inside, and hunted down the remaining survivors.[1][2][3]
