AP News • • world
Key Points:
- Interpol has identified Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian woman, as the main suspect in the Monaco bombing targeting a Ukrainian tycoon with Russian ties; she remains at large with a Red Notice issued for her arrest.
- The bombing injured three family members, including Ukrainian construction tycoon Vadym Yermolaiev, who renounced Ukrainian citizenship and was sanctioned for Russian links; one victim remains in life-threatening condition.
- The bomb was remotely detonated, and investigators believe the suspect acted with accomplices due to the device's sophistication; two male suspects were briefly detained but later released.
- The suspect was initially misidentified as a man but later confirmed as a woman disguised as a man; her escape route traced through France, Italy, and several European countries, with her last known residence in Germany.
- Monaco officials condemned the attack as an “odious act” and heightened security; the incident is notable given Ukraine's history of targeted attacks mainly within Ukrainian or Russian territories amid ongoing conflict.
