US Edition27 Tremors Felt in the City in Four Days
- Karachi experienced over twenty low-intensity earthquake tremors between May 31 and June 2, 2025, causing brief shaking and panic among residents at multiple locations.
- These tremors originated near fault lines around Malir, Landhi, and Gadap Town as pressure between the Indian, Eurasian, and Arabian tectonic plates created seismic activity.
- Although the city experienced multiple tremors with magnitudes reaching up to 3.6, there have been no reports of injuries or damage to buildings; nonetheless, Karachi’s dense population and unregulated construction practices heighten its risk.
- The Chief Minister of Sindh explained that minor tremors help gradually release built-up energy, potentially reducing the risk of a major earthquake, while the Pakistan Meteorological Department anticipates that light aftershocks may persist for several days.
- Experts and officials agree the fault line activation will subside within a week, and the risk of a large earthquake in Karachi remains low but vigilance is advised due to ongoing seismic activity.
