Police are tracking down the sender of an email threatening a bomb terror attack at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome, where a U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) opening game is scheduled to take place Wednesday.

Police said they received a report earlier in the day about the email threatening to detonate a bomb during the match between the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers to hurt superstar Shohei Ohtani and others.

Police are tracking down the sender and plan to deploy 30 commandos and 120 personnel to search the stadium. But no dangerous or suspicious situation has been found yet.

Wednesday’s game will open the 2024 MLB season. It is the very first MLB game in South Korea.
