Khan Abad

Khan Abad is a town and the center of Khan Abad District in Kunduz Province, Afghanistan. It is located in the northeast of the country, approximately 25 kilometers east of Kunduz city. Khan Abad sits on the main highway connecting Kunduz to Takhar province and Tajikistan.

The town is situated in a relatively fertile agricultural area, supported by the Khanabad River (also known as the Kunduz River), a tributary of the Amu Darya. Agriculture is a significant part of the local economy, with crops including rice, wheat, and fruits.

Khan Abad has experienced periods of conflict and instability, particularly during the periods of Taliban insurgency. It has been the site of clashes between government forces and insurgent groups.

The population of Khan Abad, like many areas in Afghanistan, has likely fluctuated due to displacement caused by conflict and economic factors. Reliable, current population statistics can be difficult to obtain.

Khan Abad serves as a local administrative and commercial center for the surrounding district. It features bazaars, schools, and health facilities catering to the local population. Access to these services may vary depending on the security situation.
