Karachi Faces 32 Mild Earthquakes Since June 1, PMD Links to Landhi Fault Line

On June 6, 2025, Karachi residents experienced their 32nd mild earthquake since June 1 at 8:32 AM, the latest tremor registered 1.5 on the Richter scale.

According to Chief Meteorologist Amir Haider Laghari of the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), the 2025 Karachi earthquakes, ranging from 1.5 to 3.6 in magnitude, have raised concerns, though no major damage has been reported.

The tremors, centred in areas like Quaidabad, Gadap, Malir, DHA, and Korangi, vary in depth from 2 to 188 kilometres. Early June 6, two quakes struck: a 2.7-magnitude tremor 20 km south of DHA at 2 km depth, and a second at 8 km depth, 7 km northwest of Malir. Laghari noted the Landhi Fault Line’s activation after decades, driving these events, with another fault near Thana Bula Khan contributing.

Laghari explained that the Landhi Fault is currently in a “normalization phase,” which means it is gradually releasing energy to prevent a major earthquake. Mild tremors are expected to continue for up to a week. The shallow depths of these tremors make them more noticeable. However, buildings located on fault lines should be able to withstand earthquakes of up to 6.0 magnitude. Any structural cracks in homes are likely due to poor construction rather than seismic activity.

The mild earthquakes in Karachi have caused anxiety among residents, particularly in Malir and Quaidabad, where some have set up outdoor shelters. However, Mahr Sahibzad Khan from the Pakistan Meteorological Department reassured citizens, saying, “There’s nothing to worry about.” According to Wikipedia, seismic activity in Pakistan is common due to its location on the boundaries of the Indian, Eurasian, and Arabian tectonic plates. The Thana Bula Khan fault also contributes to regional seismic activity.
