Afghan Victory Day, also known as Liberation Day, is celebrated on April 28th in Afghanistan. This day commemorates the Mujahideen's victory over the Soviet forces in 1992 following the Soviet-Afghan War, which lasted from December 1979 to February 1989.
Traditionally, Victory Day was celebrated with parades and official ceremonies remembering those who lost their lives during the conflict. In recent years, however, its observation has been more subdued due to ongoing conflicts within the country and political sensitivities surrounding the events that followed that victory.

Given the complex history after 1992 involving civil unrest, Taliban control, and subsequent conflicts including NATO intervention post-2001, Afghan Victory Day is observed with mixed feelings among different segments of Afghan society.
