US EditionLight Earthquake Jolts Karachi; No Damage Reported
- Karachi experienced multiple light earthquakes in early May 2025, including a 3.6-magnitude quake near Quaidabad on Sunday evening.

- The Pakistan Meteorological Department reported several low-intensity earthquakes within 24 hours, mostly shallow at about 10 kilometers depth, with no casualties or damage.
- The quakes showed a declining intensity pattern, with experts noting that such minor seismic activities help release accumulated energy within tectonic plates, potentially preventing stronger quakes.
- Officials expect the tremors to cease soon, although no formal prediction can yet be made, highlighting the ongoing seismic risks in Karachi and surrounding regions.
