  Recently, the LHC has found several anomalies in exclusive semileptonic b -->
s l^+ l^- decays. In this proceeding, we summarize the most important results
of our global analysis of the relevant decay modes. After a discussion of the
hadronic uncertainties entering the theoretical predictions, we present an
interpretation of the data in terms of generic new physics scenarios. To this
end, we have performed model-independent fits of the corresponding Wilson
coefficients to the data and have found that in certain scenarios the best fit
point is prefererred over the Standard Model by a global significance of more
than 4{\sigma}. Based on the results, the discrimination between high-scale new
physics and low-energy QCD effects as well as the possibility of lepton-flavour
universality violation are discussed.
