Four minor tremors felt in city

A sequence of four mild earthquakes was recorded in Karachi on Sunday, causing concern among residents. According to the National Seismic Monitoring Centre, three of the tremors were centered in Malir while one originated near DHA. The strongest quake was in Malir, measuring 3.8 on the Richter scale. No casualties or property damage were reported.

Officials at the National Tsunami Warning Centre revealed that as many as 55 tremors have been recorded in Karachi and surrounding areas since June 1. Most were of low magnitude, but Sunday's quakes were more prominent and widely felt due to their shallow depth, making their impact more noticeable on the surface.

Seismologists suggest the recurring seismic activity is likely due to minor shifts along local fault lines beneath the city. Authorities have launched further geological assessments to monitor and analyze the trend.

The National Tsunami Centre director at the Meteorological Department, Ameer Haider Laghari, has warned that the Landhi fault line is expected to remain active for the coming days.

He explained that movements in underground tectonic layers are generating energy gradually being released, resulting in these recurring earthquakes. Earlier, according to the National Tsunami Center (Pakistan Meteorological Department), these tremors are not a warning sign of a major natural disaster, but rather a natural geological process.
