On October 31, 2001, the U.S. military bombed the largest hydroelectric power plant in the province of Helmand, Afghanistan, causing the power supply to the Afghan cities of Kandahar and Rashkarga to be completely disrupted. The hydroelectric power plant was located about 90 kilometers north of Kandahar, southern Afghanistan, near Afghanistan's largest hydroelectric reservoir, responsible for power supply to several provinces in southern and southwestern Afghanistan. The largest hydroelectric reservoir in Afghanistan plays a slight role in the economy and life.
