THE GUARDIAN: Normally safe principality left reeling from apartment blast that also injured Vadym Iermolaiev’s wife and child
An international search is under way for a suspected bomber after a Ukrainian tycoon and his family were injured in an explosion in Monaco in an unprecedented attack that has shaken the normally ultra-safe principality.
Stéphane Thibault, Monaco’s public prosecutor, told reporters that a lone man entered an apartment block on Monday evening, left a package in the lobby and walked away. Moments later, as three occupants of a ground-floor flat approached the entrance, the package exploded, he said.
French media identified the three as Vadym Iermolaiev, his wife and their 13-year-old child. Iermolaiev and his wife had been taken to hospital with serious injuries, while their child was also wounded, French authorities said.
Without naming them, Thibault said the woman remained in a life-threatening condition, the man was no longer in a critical condition and the child’s injuries were not considered life-threatening. » | Pjotr Sauer | Tuesday, June 30, 2026
