Since June 1, Karachi has experienced 57 minor earthquakes, with magnitudes ranging between 1.5 and 3.8, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD).
Despite the frequency, officials have ruled out the possibility of any major seismic threat and termed the situation as normal and under control.
The PMD attributes the tremors to natural tectonic stress release from the active Landhi Fault Line. Karachi is located near the collision zone of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, which occasionally causes pressure build-up.
This pressure is released in the form of low-intensity seismic activity.
Most tremors occurred at depths of up to 70 kilometers, which is why many residents felt only slight shaking or none at all.
The PMD has made it clear that there is no indication of a major earthquake in the near future.
These tremors are part of routine geological activity in tectonically active zones.
The situation is being closely monitored and analyzed by experts.
