Several guerilla forces ambushed Russian convoys and shelled Bagram airport which was the base of the Russian forces in the area. Intelligence revealed that approximately 40 mujahideen were operating around the village of Sherkhankhel. The task of cleaning the area was given to the Major S.N. Petrov's 3rd airborne battalion\\Without sufficent information on the Mujahideen positions, the leading Russian airborne company moved to town from three sides aiming to seal the mujahideen forces and destroy as much as they can. They had another disadvantage too. There were water tunnels called Karez that are used for plantation in the region. Those tunnels were traditionally used for fast troop deployment by the Mujahideen forces.
