History
Beginning
In February 7, 2004, The Ro-Taliban attacked Herat International Airport, owing to 3,000 deaths due to many Robloxia troops at the airport. In the same day, they also attacked the Hawz-e-Karbaz airbase in Herat. Robloxia then killed 3 troops of the Ro-Taliban there.
Short Ceasefire and Breaking
Robloxia called for a three month ceasefire on February 8, to which the Ro-Taliban accepted. However, the ceasefire was broken on February 11, when the Ro-Taliban attacked Robloxia’s largest camp in Herat, the Sir Roy Admin Lee camp, which had 39,000 men in there. They also received support from Al RB Qaeda, who launched an air strike at Herat Star Hotel, leading to 1,000 deaths.
Blockade
The Ro-Taliban launched a massive blockade on the Dhurandhar Highway in Herat. Robloxia’s only military camp was there. On February 12, 2004, the Ro-Taliban launched 4 airstrikes on the camp. By the time it was February 13, only 890 men remained.
Surrender
At February 13, Robloxia only had Herat International Airport in control. 90 men, including their Army Watch Commander Victor Thomas, went out out of the departures lounge at the airport to fight the Ro-Taliban men, and they [the 90 men] were killed. The remaining 800 survivors surrendered and took a plane to Ro-Kabul. After they had surrendered, the Ro-Taliban won the battle and had full control of Herat.
Aftermath
Out of 44,000 men for Robloxia, only 800 survived and out of the 120,000 men for Ro-Taliban, only 30 were killed.
