Magnitude 7.2 quake shakes Pakistan: USGS
Reuters
(1 hour ago) Today
Fears of major damage in the remote area eased when the US agency revised an initial estimate that the quake was very shallow and said it probably centred at a depth of 52 miles (83 km), 55 km (34 miles) west of Dalbandin, a town of about 15,000 people. – File Photo
ISLAMABAD: A magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck southwestern Pakistan, the US Geological Survey said on Tuesday.
Fears of major damage in the remote area eased when the US agency revised an initial estimate that the quake was very shallow and said it probably centred at a depth of 52 miles (83 km), 55 km (34 miles) west of Dalbandin, a town of about 15,000 people.
It had earlier said the quake, at 1:23 a.m. local time on Wednesday (2023 GMT on Tuesday), had been at only about 6 miles (10 km) depth and of a magnitude of 7.4.
First reports from the region, close to the troubled frontier with Afghanistan, suggested injuries may have been limited, not least given the sparseness of the population.
Residents in major cities as far apart as the Indian capital New Delhi and the Gulf emirate of Dubai said they felt tremors, as did people in Pakistan’s major port of Karachi, although there were no early reports there of damage or injuries.
The Pacific Tsunami Center said the onshore quake had not triggered a tsunami in the Indian Ocean.
A major quake of this magnitude, if at a shallow depth and close to population centres, is capable of causing widespread and heavy damage and could pose fresh strains on a country still reeling from devastating floods last year which left more than 10 million people homeless.
On Oct. 8, 2005, a 7.6 magnitude quake 95 km (60 miles) northeast of the Pakistani capital Islamabad killed over 70,000 people. – Reuters

May Allah protect us all.
Many areas in Karachi are effected, including all big Cities of Pakistan.
Though i din't feel it today, but i experienced it few months ago, its magnitude was 4 but it was horrible because its epicenter was close to surface.

could it be HAARP PROJECT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mostly Muslims countries been hit with such devastation
HAARP
It's called the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project. What could be more innocuous than researching the Northern Lights, right? Depends on who you ask.
HAARP is a research program based in Alaska to "study the ionosphere" and aurora effects in the atmosphere. It's run jointly by the Air Force and the Navy. If you're wondering why the Air Force and the Navy care about aurorae, you're not the only one.
There is, of course, a perfectly reasonable explanation. According to HAARP (which unlike many insidious government conspiracies, has its own Web site), "Because the DoD (Depoartment of Defense) operates numerous communication and navigation systems whose signals either depend on reflection from the ionosphere or must pass through the ionosphere to satellites, there is obvious DoD interest in understanding the ionosphere's effect on these systems to improve their reliability and performance."
Now that we've got the reasonableness out of the way, lets look at why HAARP is up there with Area 51 in terms of conspiratorial splendor.
First off, there's the basic nature of the project. It's scores of radio antenna pumping massive high-frequency directional broadcasts into the air for the purpose of heating the ionosphere. Yes, that's right — it's blasting electromagnetic radiation into the sky to "microwave" the outer layer atmosphere. Starting to sound less innocuous?
Some people, purporting to be government employees with privileged information, have claimed that HAARP is actually some sort of massive destructor beam for a nefarious purpose.
HAARP claims that the supposed 3,600 kilowatts of energy originating from the project are completely harmless (detractors claim it's more like a gigawatt) and far less than the normal variation in ionospheric radiation. Which raises the question of why they don't just study those normal variations.
The claims about HAARP made by these ubiquitous people-in-the-know boil down to the following bullet points:

The claims about HAARP made by these ubiquitous people-in-the-know boil down to the following bullet points:
- HAARP is a giant death ray, based on a design contained in the notes of inventor Nikola Tesla, seized by the FBI after his death. This is a very popular theory, probably because so much of it is actually true. Tesla claimed to have developed a death ray with a very similar configuration to HAARP's actual configuration, and the seizure of his scientific papers is a matter of public record.
- HAARP is a weather-control machine. There's a certain logic to this one as well. If a butterfly's wings beating in Tibet can cause el Nino, then a gigawatt of electromagnetic radiation ought to be good for something.
- HAARP is an earthquake machine. Also based on a bunch of weird stuff Tesla discovered. Somewhat offset by the fact the HAARP array is clearly pointed at the sky.
- HAARP is a doomsday machine ripping a hole in the earth's atmosphere. Colorful, but scienfitically questionable. How do you rip a hole in air?
- HAARP has something to do with UFOs. Either signalling them, blasting them from the skies, or feeding babies to them.
- HAARP is a giant Mind Control broadcasting machine. Appealing, but if it works, why are people still such assholes?

پچھلے سال اگست میں تونسہ بیراج کے مقام پر سرداروں نے چند ہزار ایکڑ زمین بچانے کیلیے دائیں کی بجاے بایاں پشتہ توڑکر بیس کی بجاے نوے لاکھ آبادی کو ڈبو دیا. توڑی کے مقام پر فیکٹریوں کو بچانے کیلیے بھی یہی ہوا. جاپان میں کوبے کے گنجان ترین شہر میں شدید زلزلے سے ہلاکتیں پانچ ہزار، لیکن پاکستان میں اس سے کم گنجان کشمیر میں ہلاکتیں چھیاسی ہزار
تو میرا نہیں خیال کہ امریکہ کو پاکستان کیلیے کسی "ہارپ" کی ضرورت ہے. اگر وہ اسکا استعمال ہم پہ کر رہا ہے تو اپنے وسائل کا ضیاع اور بڑی بیوقوفی کر رہا ہے. ہمیں ہمارے حال پر چھوڑ دیا جائے، ہم سے بڑا 'ہارپ'، پاکستان کیلیے کوئی نہیں
