A multistory building collapse in Pakistan's port city of Karachi kills at least 6 people
- A five-story residential building collapsed on July 4, 2025, in Karachi's Baghdadi, Lyari, killing 16 people and injuring three others during ongoing rescue operations.
- The structure was identified as unsafe three years prior, and an official evacuation notice was issued about six weeks before the incident; however, the occupants did not leave the premises.
- Rescue teams including Rangers, city wardens, and emergency personnel used heavy machinery and a Trapped Person Locator to search survivors amid challenges from unstable structure and congested streets.
- District South Deputy Commissioner Javed Khoso stated the operation could take up to eight to ten more hours, with 10-12 people possibly trapped under the rubble as 16 bodies were recovered including six women and ten men.
- The collapse highlights Karachi's widespread issue of aging unsafe buildings, prompting the Sindh government to form a high-level committee that will report investigation findings and plans to relocate residents from dilapidated structures.
