September 1838 CE

The Persians had made an attempt to storm Herat on June 24, 1838, after conducting a somewhat desultory siege, but were repulsed with a loss of seventeen hundred men.

A tacit armistice exists until September 9, 1838, when the Shah withdraws his army.

The defenders of Herat are estimated to have lost about one thousand of their number, while the Persians have lost about two thousand.
