  • Interpol has issued a Red Notice for Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian woman.
  • The bombing in Monaco injured a Ukrainian construction tycoon and his family.
  • The attack is believed to be premeditated, and the suspect allegedly disguised herself as a man.

Interpol has named Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old woman from Ukraine, as the chief suspect in a bombing incident that occurred in Monaco, targeting Ukrainian tycoon Vadym Yermolaiev and his family. The international law enforcement agency issued a Red Notice seeking her arrest on charges including attempted murder and the placement of an explosive device, according to SCMP, CBS News, and Al Jazeera.

The bombing, which took place at the entrance of a residential building, left Yermolaiev, his partner, and their 13-year-old son injured. Reports indicate that Yermolaiev was specifically targeted and has previously been sanctioned by Ukraine for his connections to Russia, according to CBS News, and Al Jazeera.

Monaco's deputy prosecutor, Morgan Raymond, confirmed that the bomb was detonated remotely, and remains of the explosive device are under analysis in France. Eyewitness accounts initially described the suspect as a large male figure, but further investigation revealed that she was a woman disguised as a man, which shifted the focus of the investigation, as noted by SCMP and Al Jazeera.

The judicial investigation is ongoing with implications that the attack may have involved accomplices, reflecting a "sophisticated" execution of the bombing. Authorities also traced the suspect's escape route through France and Italy, suggesting she fled after the incident using a rented vehicle with German license plates, according to CBS News and Al Jazeera.

This shocking event in Monaco has prompted strong condemnation, with Prince Albert II labeling it an "odious act" and emphasizing that all public services are mobilized to enhance security, as reported by CBS News and SCMP.
