The Battle of Chora was a military engagement in Chora District, Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan, occurring from 15 to 19 June 2007. The battle was between ISAF – primarily composed of Dutch troops – and allied Afghan forces against anti-coalition militias (ACM), believed to be affiliated with the Taliban. The battle centered on control of the Chora District's administrative center, a strategic location for the Taliban due to its role as a key ground route linking the contested Gizab District in the north to the provincial capital, Tarinkot. According to some press reports, the fighting was the largest Taliban offensive of 2007 in Afghanistan, and resulted in the death of one Dutch soldier, as well as approximately 50 to 80 civilians and 70 Taliban fighters.
