A total of 26 earthquake tremors have been recorded in Karachi over the past four days since the initial jolt on Sunday evening, Pakistan’s Met Office said on Wednesday, as reported by ARY News.

The series of tremors primarily affected the city’s Malir, Quaidabad, Landhi, and Gadap areas, according to the National Seismic Monitoring Centre Pakistan. The recorded magnitudes of these tremors ranged from 2.0 to a maximum of 3.6 on the Richter scale, ARY News reported.


Chief Meteorologist Ameer Haider stated on Tuesday that the seismic activity is linked to the Landhi Fault Line and is expected to continue until Wednesday. “The seismic energy gathered at the Landhi Fault Line is being released with quakes, which can be felt until wednesday,” he said.



He assured that the intensity of the tremors is expected to decline gradually and added that so far, no damage has been reported due to the mild nature of the shocks. “These tremors are part of the ongoing seismic activity along the city’s active fault lines,” an official said.

The Landhi Fault Region, responsible for the current sequence of tremors, is one of two active fault lines in the region. The other fault line lies near Thana Bola Khan.
