*(KARACHI HIT BY 19 MILD TREMORS SINCE SUNDAY) Dated: 03-June-25:* *_A total of 19 mild earthquake tremors have been recorded since Sunday night, an event unprecedented in Karachi city's history. The Early Tsunami Warning Cell Karachi has released official data, confirming that the strongest earthquake measured 3.6 magnitude, while the weakest was recorded at 2.1 magnitude. Out of these, 11 tremors were recorded in the Malir district, while the remaining were felt in the southwestern part of Korangi and the northeastern areas of DHA._* Experts attribute the repeated seismic activity to shifts in underground tectonic layers. These tremors are caused by the release of energy generated by low-level seismic movement beneath the earth’s surface. In response, residents in several streets and neighborhoods of Malir and Quaidabad have opted to stay outdoors, setting up temporary shelters and tents in open areas. Women gathered throughout Monday to recite the Holy Quran, praying for safety. Commissioner Karachi Syed Hassan Naqvi urged residents to stay calm and not believe in rumours circulating on social media. 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. This activity may actually help balance the local fault line for years to come. *Chronological details of the seismic events include:* - *Sunday, 5:33 PM – Magnitude 3.6, depth 10 km, epicenter: Qaidabad* - *Sunday, 10:29 PM – Magnitude 3.2, depth 10 km, epicenter: Qaidabad* - *Sunday, 11:45 PM – Magnitude 3.1, depth 10 km, epicenter: 40 km southeast of Malir* - *Monday, 1:06 AM – Magnitude 3.2, depth 12 km, epicenter: Gadap Town* - *Monday, 11:04 AM – Magnitude 3.2, epicenter: Qaidabad* - *Monday, 12:17 PM – Magnitude 2.2, depth 29 km, epicenter: southeast Malir* - *Monday, 1:11 PM – Magnitude 2.4, depth 188 km, epicenter: 11 km east of Malir* - *Monday, 1:38 PM – Magnitude 2.9, depth 5 km, epicenter: near DHA* - *Monday, 9:49 PM – Magnitude 3.0, depth 13 km, epicenter: 30 km east of DHA* A series of low-intensity earthquakes in Karachi, mainly around Malir and Quaidabad, caused temporary panic and led to 216 prisoners escaping during an evacuation.
