The Nangar Khel incident, sometimes called the Nangar Khel massacre, took place in the Afghan village of Nangar Khel (Paktika Province) on August 16, 2007. Following an insurgent IED ambush which injured two soldiers from another Polish patrol in the area, a patrol of Polish soldiers from the elite 18th Airborne-Assault Battalion taking part in the International Security Assistance Force responded with heavy machine gun fire and fired a 60 mm mortar at the village. The attack resulted in the deaths of six civilians, including a pregnant woman and three children, and seriously injured three other women.
