Borussia Dortmund's team bus has been caught up in an explosion ahead of tonight's match against AS Monaco.

A translated tweet read: "Bomb explosion on the team bus at the team hotel. Player in security. No danger in the and at the stadium. More information to follow."

German newspaper Bild reports that the incident occurred approximately 10km from the stadium, with the blast shattering the vehicle's windows.
