An explosion rocked the affluent enclave of Monaco, as investigators pursue a suspected bomber who targeted Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev. The attack has left Yermolaiev, his partner, and his son hospitalized. Authorities believe the suspect fled to France after planting the explosive parcel.

The principality, known for its opulence, is stunned by the brazen assault. Monaco prosecutor Stephane Thibault shared at a press conference that the attacker is wanted for attempted murder, and collaboration with French authorities is underway to expedite his capture.
