Berlin, March 30: Police in Germany's Munich have deployed more officers to secure the Allianz Arena during a Bundesliga match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, Germany-based DW reported. The security has been enhanced after police received a tip-off on Friday that images which surfaced on social media seemed to show a target placed on spectators outside the stadium.

The ISIS-K terror group, based in Afghanistan, has purportedly created the image, according to DW report. The development comes after the terrorist group claimed responsibility for deadly attack that took place at Crocus City Hall outside Moscow on March 22. How To Watch Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund, Bundesliga 2023–24 Free Live Streaming Online & Match Time in India: Get German League Match Live Telecast on TV & Football Score Updates in IST?.
