The 3 Hoot uprising (Dari: قیام 3 حوت, Qeyam-e 3 Hut) refers to a week of major civil unrest in Kabul, Afghanistan that started on 22 February 1980, occurring two months after the Soviet intervention.

Protests, rioting and a popular uprising against the Babrak Karmal-led Democratic Republic of Afghanistan government was triggered, by one account due to a series of mass arrests by the regime.

Many residents chanted Allahu Akbar whilst the military fired rockets in the air to silence them.

Protesters peacefully marched through streets, chanting religious and anti-Soviet messages.

Security forces then started firing at the protesters, and subsequently Soviet tanks were sent to quell the demonstrators.
