The Siege of Chittagong (1617) was a Mughal military campaign launched by Qasim Khan, Subahdar of Bengal, to capture the strategically important port city of Chittagong from the Kingdom of Mrauk U. The expedition followed the failure of an earlier Arakanese invasion of Bhulua and a disastrous Mughal campaign in Assam. Advancing from Dhaka, the Mughal army under 'Abd-un-Nabi attempted a surprise attack on an unfinished Arakanese fort at Kathgar, near Sitakunda. Although initial success seemed near, the Mughals suspended hostilities overnight, allowing the Arakanese to recover and mount a strong defence. The Arakanese then constructed a stockade that cut off Mughal supply lines, leaving the besiegers short of food and facing the approaching monsoon. The Mughals were forced to raise the siege, abandon their heavy artillery, destroy their gunpowder, and retreat in disarray towards Bhulua. The campaign ended in complete failure.
