Direct proof of use
The Type 63 107 mm rocket is directly documented in the Afghanistan war through an official U.S. Air National Guard account of a March 18, 2018 attack at Camp Dahlke, Afghanistan. The account says Taliban forces fired a Type 63 107 mm rocket into the camp while Senior Airman Joshua Harhai and others were present during a deployment connected to Bagram, Afghanistan.
The same account describes the rocket as being intercepted above the personnel by a counter-rocket, artillery, and mortar missile defense system. That source supports the compact catalog row as a Taliban indirect-fire attack rather than a coalition use or a mere recovered-materiel example.

Timeline
The publicly sourced timeline for this weapon in the 2001 War in Afghanistan is narrow. The documented event is the March 18, 2018 Camp Dahlke rocket attack, later described in the November 4, 2018 U.S. Air National Guard article announcing Harhai's Army Combat Action Badge.
The available source identifies the user as Taliban forces, the munition as a Type 63 107 mm rocket, and the defensive outcome as a C-RAM intercept. It does not identify the launcher configuration, the rocket's production lot, or a broader count of Type 63 rocket attacks in Afghanistan.

Operational role
In the documented Afghanistan incident, the Type 63 107 mm rocket was used as an unguided indirect-fire weapon against a coalition position. Federation of American Scientists background material describes the Type 63 HE-fragmentation rocket as an electrically initiated, spin-stabilized rocket normally fired from trailer- or truck-mounted multiple launchers, with possible single-tube launch arrangements.
The Camp Dahlke source does not say which launcher fired the rocket, so the usage record treats the weapon's role as short-range indirect fire and insurgent rocket attack rather than attributing the attack to a specific launcher. The direct-use evidence places the munition with Taliban forces and the defensive engagement with a C-RAM system.
