At one point fighting became intensive, causing General David J. Richards, the NATO commander in Afghanistan, to declare that Helmand province had seen the fiercest fighting involving British troops since the Korean War. It became emblematic of the difficulty of the mission being carried out by British soldiers in Afghanistan, who nicknamed it "Sangingrad".

None of the ISAF's intended strategic and political objectives were achieved in the long term.

The governor of the Helmand Province also corroborated that civilians were killed following the province's own independent analysis of the incident.
