Overview
- KNMI recorded the quake at 01:16:40 near Zeerijp at about 3 kilometers depth, followed by a felt aftershock around 06:39 measured near magnitude 2.1.
- Residents across the province reported strong shaking; the Zeerijp community center opened for support and people were urged to file damage reports with the mining damage institute IMG.
- Provincial leader René Paas called it a harsh blow for residents and said a full picture of damage will take weeks, pressing for simpler, more humane handling of claims and reinforcements.
- Regulator SodM says induced seismicity will persist for some time with a small, roughly 1% probability of a magnitude 4.0 or stronger event, though the risk is declining.
- Initial checks found no visible damage to key waterworks and the 14th‑century Jacobuskerk appears intact for now, while GBB expects hundreds to thousands of claims and urges faster home strengthening.
