Interpol has identified Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian woman, as the chief suspect in a bomb attack in Monaco. The attack, which occurred on Monday, injured a Ukrainian tycoon, his partner, and son, who were reportedly targeted. Berezovska is wanted by Monaco for attempted murder and related charges. Monaco authorities stated the victims were a family and appeared to be specifically targeted, though they have not been officially identified. Media reports named Ukrainian construction tycoon Vadym Yermolaiev as one of the wounded, noting his past renunciation of Ukrainian citizenship and imposition of Ukrainian sanctions due to his ties to Russia. The bomb was detonated remotely, and the suspect was initially believed to be male before CCTV footage revealed a woman disguised as a man.
