Destroying Boats, Killing Crew
Boats and sailors were not the only things targeted by Soviet forces during the Soviet war in Afghanistan.
According to a recent report by the Russian human rights group Memorial, Soviet troops deliberately destroyed entire villages, killing hundreds of civilians in the process.
The report also highlights the use of torture and mistreatment of prisoners by Soviet forces.
The boats were sunk in the river, and the crew was killed instantly.
The incident is a stark reminder of the brutal tactics employed by Soviet forces during the conflict.
It is estimated that between 1980 and 1989, over 1 million Afghans were killed or injured as a result of Soviet military action.
The Soviet war in Afghanistan lasted for nine years and resulted in the deaths of over 100,000 Soviet soldiers.
