Quetta street march marks August 5 Kashmir observance with flags and banners

In Quetta City Tehsil, Pakistan, a man in tactical gear, identified as "COMMANDO" by a patch on his vest, stands prominently. He wears a black balaclava and a black tactical vest over a black long-sleeved shirt. The vest has multiple pouches and a green strap across it. He is holding a rifle, appearing to be an AK-pattern firearm, with the barrel pointing upwards and to his right. Another man, wearing a brown shalwar kameez, stands to the left of the commando. He is holding a small flag with green and white stripes and a crescent moon and star symbol. Behind them is a mural depicting various figures, including what appear to be soldiers and animals, painted on a wall. A fence is visible in the background above the mural. The scene appears to be outdoors on a street.

A group of men are walking down a street, holding flags and a banner. The flags are green and white, and feature a star and crescent symbol, which is the national flag of Pakistan. The banner is green and has writing in Urdu and English. The English text reads "A CHRONICLE OF RESILIENCE THE LONG SHADOW OF 5 AUGUST YOUML-E-ISTEHSAL." Several men are holding cameras and recording the event. A man in a security uniform, wearing a tactical vest and a tactical helmet, is visible near a vehicle. The sky is overcast, and the environment appears to be an urban setting with buildings and utility poles visible.
