Siege of Kumaha

The Siege of Kumaha was conducted by Assyria during the Great Powers' War, as they attacked the northern city of Hayasa-Azzi during their campaign. The siege was originally expected to begin only after the Siege of Tushpa was finished, however, due to raiders attacking Assyrian positions around Tushpa, Tiglath diverted a portion of his forces to the north to deal with Kumaha and the attackers from there.
The siege lasted a couple months and was a success, albeit a costly one, as Assyrians lost thousands of soldiers in the process. The city was destroyed and most inhabitants and defenders killed, though the chief Argishti managed to escape with some of his soldiers. Instead of pursuing him and hunting down the remainder of the force, Tiglath decided to head south to return to the task of taking Tushpa, as the north was crippled and could not pose much of a threat to him anymore.
