Karachi witnessed another mild jolt on Wednesday evening, adding to a series of tremors that have unsettled the city over the past few days.
This marks the 29th seismic incident reported since June 1, leaving many residents uneasy.
The most recent movement in the earth’s crust occurred at 7:54pm, with seismologists recording a magnitude of 2.0.
The quake originated 11 kilometers northeast of Malir at a depth of 40 kilometers, according to data from the regional monitoring center.
Earlier in the afternoon, at around 2:23pm, another tremor was detected with slightly higher intensity—2.1 on the Richter scale—and a shallow depth of 5 kilometers. That disturbance was traced to an area south of Malir.
Though both quakes were short-lived and did not result in casualties or property damage, the uptick in seismic incidents has prompted experts to advise the public to remain cautious during such natural episodes.
Geologists emphasized that these minor tremors are typically signs of routine tectonic adjustments rather than indicators of a major seismic threat. Still, the unusual frequency of these movements in recent days has kept Karachi’s residents on edge.
