Everything we know about the Monaco attack on a Ukrainian oligarch

The Monaco attack on a Ukrainian oligarch centers on Vadym Iermolaiev, who was returning to his apartment with a woman and a child when a bomb exploded outside their building on Rue Révérend-Père-Louis-Frolla on Monday evening. The suspected parcel bomb was dropped in the lobby by a man who fled the scene; police are treating the case as attempted murder rather than a terrorist attack. Iermolaiev, 58, and the other two victims were taken to Pasteur Hospital in Nice, where authorities said their injuries were serious. Monaco’s state minister Christophe Mirmand said the three were “returning home peacefully” when they were caught in the blast. CCTV footage circulated in Ukrainian media shows a suspect in dark clothing running toward Beausoleil in France. The woman’s legs were amputated, according to Ukrainska Pravda, while Iermolaiev suffered shrapnel wounds. The investigation remains unclear as potential motives continue to be discussed, including past sanctions and intelligence claims cited by Ukrainian agencies.
