Police Find No Explosives At Seoul Stadium After Bomb Threat

South Korean police conducted a thorough search at Seoul's Gocheok Sky Dome following a reported bomb threat against Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani. Approximately 150 police officers, equipped with sniffer dogs and X-ray detectors, scoured the stadium but found no explosives, as confirmed by Seoul's Guro police station.

The police action was prompted by a tip indicating a threat against the Japanese baseball player, although specific details were not disclosed. The search was initiated after South Korea's consulate general in Vancouver, Canada received an email threatening to detonate an explosive at the Gocheok stadium during the Major League Baseball opening game between the Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, scheduled for later that day.
