Per Fox Soccer, Tuesday's fixture has been postponed and will now be played on Wednesday.
The German club (h/t ESPN) say one person was injured in the incident, which occurred as Dortmund were travelling to the stadium for the European clash.
"The bus turned on the main road when there was suddenly a huge bang, a proper explosion," goalkeeper Roman Burki said, per The Guardian. "The police were quickly on the spot and handled the situation. We were all in shock. After the bang we all ducked and those who could lie on the floor did so. We didn’t know what was going to happen next.”
They face Monaco in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, with the reverse fixture at Stade Louis II scheduled for April 19.
