The Dutch regional center for residential safety said that insurers have received nearly 3,000 claims for property damage in the city of Groningen following an earthquake in the region, Dutchnews.nl reported citing NOS.nl. The 3.4-magnitude quake, which struck the region on Jan. 8, was the largest to hit the province in five years, where decades of gas extraction has led to an increase in seismic activity. More than 100,000 people in Groningen have reported quake-related damage to their homes and the total repair bill has exceeded €1 billion ($1.2 billion).
