According to reports, multiple explosions occurred right next to a bus carrying the Borussia Dortmund football team to its Champions League match versus Monaco.
Dortmund player Marc Bartra was reportedly injured — as windows from the bus were shattered in the incident. He’s since been taken to the hospital.

The explosions occurred in Höchstem district in the city of Dortmund in Germany. The contest between the two teams has since been postponed for Wednesday. As of now, there’s no word on the motive — or culprit — behind the explosions.
In a terrific show of support, Monaco fans — already inside the arena — were seen chanting “Dortmund, Dortmund” in the stands:
