Urgun

(Pashto: ارګون) is the main town of the Urgun District of Paktika Province, Afghanistan.

Orgun, Urgin, Urgum, Urgim, Urghim, Wargun, Warghun, Arghun, Urgon, and Orgon are the most popular alternative spellings.

Urgun with some land for agriculture has recently seen progress of a poorly made road connecting it to the angorada border with Pakistan.

It has also been the witness of disastrous attacks including the one that left 106 civilians dead on a single day on June 14, 2014.

In the 1970s, however, the provincial capital was moved from Urgun to the town of Sharana, due to Sharana's proximity with the main highway connecting it to the larger cities and commercial centers of Kabul and Kandahar.
