Key Points:
- Monaco authorities have issued an Interpol Red Notice for Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian woman suspected of carrying out a parcel bombing that seriously injured Ukrainian-born oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev, his partner, and their 13-year-old son.
- The charges against Berezovska include attempted murder, placing an explosive device in a public place with criminal intent, and criminal conspiracy; she was initially mistaken for a male suspect based on CCTV footage.
- Berezovska, who has dark hair, a possible snake tattoo on her right arm, and speaks German, was living in Germany where police conducted a search of her home and are cooperating with Monaco authorities.
- The bombing occurred at the entrance of a residential building in Monaco near the French border, targeting Yermolaiev, a businessman with Cypriot citizenship who was sanctioned by Kyiv in 2023 for alleged business ties to Russian-annexed Crimea.
- Following the blast, Yermolaiev's condition improved from life-threatening, his partner remained unstable, and their 13-year-old son was reported stable.
