\n Karachi
\nA deep depression located around 250km south-southeast of Karachi is poised to evolve into a rare cyclonic storm as it moves westward towards Oman, raising alarms across Pakistan\u2019s coastal regions.
\nThe Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has warned of the potential storm, which could bring heavy rainfall and strong winds to the southern districts of Sindh, including Karachi, and along the Makran coast.
\nThe depression, which formed over the Rann of Kutch in India, has been moving west-southwestward over the past 12 hours and now lies at around Latitude 23.6 N & Longitude 69.2 E at about 250km east\/southeast of Karachi.
\nMeanwhile, Director General of the Meteorological Department, Sahibzada Khan, has stated in a press conference that Cyclone Asna has transformed into a deep depression upon reaching Rajasthan.
\n\u201cThis is the first time in 60 years, since 1964, that such a cyclone has formed. Currently, it is located 200 kilometres south of Karachi and may intensify into a tropical storm within the next six hours,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
