3.2-Magnitude Quake Shakes Karachi’s Malir With No Damage Reported

PMD says the Landhi fault is undergoing normal adjustment, not a warning of a larger disaster.

Overview

  • The tremor struck at 9:34am with an epicentre about seven kilometres northwest of Malir at a depth of 10 kilometres.
  • Residents reported light shaking, and authorities said there were no casualties or property damage.
  • National Tsunami Centre officials expect the Landhi fault to remain active for a few days and advise those in weak structures to evacuate during tremors.
  • Meteorologists describe the events as independent minor tremors rather than aftershocks or precursors, with round-the-clock monitoring in place.
  • The incident follows recent stronger quakes elsewhere in the region and comes after Karachi logged dozens of small tremors in June.
