New tremors in Karachi parts were felt at dawn on Wednesday while the city continues to experience a repeated seismic activity, which leads residents to the affected areas to flee their homes with fear.
This marked the 20th tremor from Sunday night.
According to the Seismic Monitoring Center of the Department of Meteorology of Pakistan (PMD), the last earthquake measured 3.1 on the Richter scale, with a depth of approximately 80 kilometers. The epicenter was located about 10 kilometers east of Malir.
The tremors were particularly notable in the Quaidabad, Shah Latif colony and the cattle colony, neighborhoods that have reported recurrent seismic shakes since Sunday night. Continuous activity has left many residents in a state of greater anxiety.
While until now no damage or victims have been reported, persistent tremors have expressed concerns among experts and the general public.

Previously, Tsunami’s first warning center in Karachi confirmed that there have been a total of 19 minor tremors since Sunday night, an unprecedented event in the history of the city.
The strongest earthquake was recorded in 3.6 magnitude, while the weakest was measured at 2.1.
Experts attribute the unusual seismic pattern to changes in tectonic plates under the region. It is believed that tremors are the result of the release of accumulated energy due to the low -ground low intensity seismic movement.
The authorities continue to monitor the situation, while urging the public to remain calm and follow the security guidelines.
