Three explosions hit the Borrusia Dortmund team bus in the immediate proximity of the entrance to the team’s hotel in the Dortmund district of Höchsten. This occurred just 90 minutes before the kick-off of the Champions League quarter-final tie between the German side and AS Monaco.
According to reports, the explosives were hidden in a hedge close to a car park and were detonated remotely. The game was postponed until Wednesday evening. There were no significant casualties but defender Marc Bartra was hit by shards of glass and has undergone surgery since. A police officer accompanying the bus was also injured.
