Achin, Administrative district in Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan.
Achin district sits along the border with Pakistan in southern Nangarhar Province, featuring mountainous terrain and agricultural landscapes across its territory.
During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s, the district served as a critical base for Mujaheddin resistance fighters operating in the region.
The population of Achin consists entirely of Pashtun people, with the Shinwari tribe maintaining strong traditional customs and social structures.
The district capital, Sra Kala, functions as the administrative center where residents can access government services and participate in local affairs.
In 2017, the district became the site of a significant military operation involving the deployment of one of the largest non-nuclear weapons ever used.
