In a video shared on social media, the popular UBL tower on I. I. Chundrigar Road in the city was shown bearing the impact of the cyclone, reported Khaleej Times.
A part of the facade on the building's left side can be seen flailing in the wind before plummeting several meters to the ground below.
Citing Pakistani daily Dawn, Khaleej Times reported that the city saw a dust storm followed by light rain after a severe heat spell that lasted two days.
