The Dehak airstrike occurred in 2006 during the Afghanistan War as part of the British Army's Operation Goodvale in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. The Royal Marines acquired intelligence on Janan Mughal's militia cadre during a visit to the friendly village of Magat, and they used this intelligence to call in the Royal Air Force to eliminate the insurgents before they could pose a threat to Musa Qala, which was southwest of the insurgents' position in the mountains. The RAF dropped a bomb on the insurgents near Dehak, eliminating the insurgent cadre in the first bloodshed of Operation Goodvale.
