The Padkhwab-e Shana massacre or Pad Khwab-e Shanah massacre was a war crime perpetrated by the Soviet Army on 13 September 1982 in the village of Padkhwab-e Shana in the Logar Province, Afghanistan, during the Soviet–Afghan War. The people were murdered in what was described as Soviet reprisals against civilians for anti-communist resistance members and their military actions aimed against the Red Army. When a Red Army unit entered the town with a population of about 10,000 to search for resistance members, several villagers and armed combatants hid in a qanat, an underground irrigation canal. The Russian commander told the elders to bring out all the people in the tunnel, but the elders said there is nobody there. When one man emerged from the stairway, contradicting the elders, the Russian commander ordered that all the people under ground come out. When the people below refused, the Russian officials poured a flammable liquid through three vertical well shafts that lead to the qanat, presumed to be a mix of gasoline, pentrite and trinitrotoluene, to rout them out.
