Earthquakes erupting in Sindh’s Dadu district jolted the province’s adjacent districts and whole of the province at around 10 a.m. today.
The earthquake struck 33 kilometers southwest of Dadu, according to the National Seismic Monitoring Centre (NSMC). The earthquake was 15 kilometers deep and measured 3.9 on the Richter scale.
Thankfully, no one has died as a result of the earthquake. The jolts that are closer to the surface, on the other hand, are more likely to have long-term negative consequences on the property.
According to many first-hand accounts of the occurrence, the earthquake lasted several seconds, prompting panic among inhabitants forced to leave their houses in the sweltering heat.
In December of last year, a magnitude 4.1 earthquake struck the Karachi. The magnitude of earthquake was 7.3.
7.3 earthquake in Karachi stunned the officials, who had never seen such a violent earthquake with its epicenter within the province capital.
Zahid Rafi, director of the Pakistan Meteorology Division’s (PMD) Seismology Division, noted that earthquakes of magnitudes of little over 3.1 have struck Karachi in the past, with epicenters beyond the province capital (Islamabad).
