The image depicts an open, arid construction or maintenance site for electrical infrastructure in Pir Dust, Afghanistan. Four adult males are present in the foreground and mid-ground. On the left, two men walk rightward on uneven, dusty brown terrain. The leftmost man wears a light brown traditional outfit, a dark green tactical vest, and a yellow hard hat, looking at a smartphone held in both hands. To his right, a second man wears a light purple traditional outfit, a neon yellow reflective safety vest draped over his shoulders, and a light-colored head covering; he looks downward. To the right, two armed men stand facing left. Both wear dark uniforms, dark boots, dark baseball caps, and dark face coverings. Each holds a rifle, likely an AK-variant, vertically with the butt on the ground. The man on the far right looks towards the left, while the man closer to the center has his left hand near his ear, possibly operating a communication device. In the mid-ground, a large electrical substation and multiple tall metal lattice transmission towers dominate the landscape, carrying numerous power lines across the clear, pale blue sky. A single, dark-clad figure is visible walking in the distance near the substation structures. The ground is dry, barren, and uneven, with scattered rocks and small mounds. Distant, hazy mountains are visible on the horizon. On the far right, yellow markers are placed on the ground, and faint structures and a vehicle are discernible in the distance.
