      <title>Seismic shocks rattle Karachi through the night</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330418176/seismic-shocks-rattle-karachi-through-the-night</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mild earthquake measuring 2.8 on the Richter scale jolted Karachi on Tuesday morning, with tremors felt across parts of the city at 9:57am. The quake, centered 15 kilometers southeast of Malir at a depth of 40 kilometers, caused panic among residents, many of whom rushed out of homes and offices in fear.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The seismic activity, which has sparked fear and anxiety among locals, continued into late Monday night, with a notable tremor striking at 12:53am.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The quake measured 3.0 on the Richter scale. According to the Seismological Center, the epicenter of the latest tremor was approximately 30 kilometers east of DHA, at a depth of 13 kilometers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A series of minor earthquakes jolted Karachi over the past 24 hours, with ten tremors reported in different parts of the city, causing widespread fear and unease among residents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The strongest tremors were reported in areas including Quaidabad, Malir, Saudabad, Khokhrapar, Steel Town, and Gulistan-e-Jauhar. The unexpected jolts sent residents fleeing their homes, many reciting prayers as they rushed to open spaces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Met Office confirmed that no casualties or property damage have been reported. However, experts have identified the tremors as aftershocks, which may persist intermittently over the next 48 hours.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most intense quake in this sequence, recorded since the onset of the tremors yesterday evening, reached a magnitude of 3.2.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While Karachi does not lie on a known fault line, seismologists explain that environmental changes and underground pressure could be triggering these localized, low-intensity tremors. They have advised the public to remain calm but to follow safety precautions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The frequent tremors caused temporary halts in activities at schools and offices in some areas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, videos and eyewitness accounts of the seismic events quickly circulated on social media, fueling concern and speculation among citizens.&lt;/p&gt;
