According to the National Seismological Center, the 3.2 magnitude quake struck Karachi at 9:34 AM. Its epicenter was located 7 kilometers northwest of Malir, with a shallow depth of just 10 kilometers.

The tremors were mostly felt in Landhi and Malir, where residents reported light shaking. Some people rushed out of their homes in fear, but no injuries or damage have been reported so far.

Experts say the earthquake may be linked to activity along the local Landhi Fault Line. Karachi has already experienced several small quakes since early June 2025, with magnitudes ranging from 2.5 to 3.6.

The Meteorological Department and disaster agencies are closely monitoring the situation. Scientists suggest these minor quakes may be natural energy releases and are not uncommon in tectonically active zones.

The 3.2 magnitude quake in Karachi highlights ongoing seismic activity near the Landhi Fault Line. Though shallow and mild, it caused noticeable panic, especially in Malir and Landhi. No damage or casualties were reported. Experts view it as a normal release of tectonic stress, not a major threat. Still, the repeated tremors since June 2025 emphasize the need for public awareness and preparedness in a city with growing seismic sensitivity.
