U ponedjeljak navečer, u središtu Monaka, došlo je do snažne eksplozije koja je ozlijeđila tri osobe, među kojima je i bogati ukrajinski oligarh Vadim Jermolajev. Eksplozija se dogodila u ulici Rue Révérend-Père-Louis-Frolla, nedaleko od trga Place des Moulins, u blizini granice s francuskim Beausoleilom. Nadzorne kamere su snimile muškarca koji je ostavio ruksak ispred ulaza u stambenu zgradu prije nego što je pobjegao pješice. Policijska operacija za pronašćenje osumnjičenika i dalje traje, a vlasti su objavili da je incident najvjerojatnije teroristički napad.
Eksplodirala je improvizirana eksplozivna naprava, koja je sadržavala vijke i metalne kuglice, dizajnirane da uzrokuju maksimalnu povredu. Eksplozija je nastupila oko 21 sati, a prema izvješćima, osumnjičenik je bio odjeven u tamnu majicu i tamni šešir, s torbom preko ramena i bijelim tenisicama. Kamere su snimile njegov izlazak iz područja, a njegova likvidnost je izazvala paniku među stanovnicima Monaka. Istražitelji su u tijeku noći provedeni u analizi materijala i prikupljanju dokaza, dok su francuske i monaške policije započele zajedničku operaciju.
Među ozlijeđenima su članovi jedne ukrajinske obitelji. Roditelji, oboje u pedesetim godinama, nalaze se u kritičnom stanju, dok je njihov 13-godišnji sin izvan životne opasnosti. Jedan od teško ozlijeđenih je Vadim Jermolajev, koji od početka rata u Ukrajini boravi u Monaku kao "VIP izbjeglica". U trenutku eksplozije, on se vraćao kući zajedno s partnericom i sinom. Sada je u bolnici, gde se suočava s teškim ozljedama. Prema izvorima, Jermolajev je bio na popisu 100 najbogatijih ljudi Ukrajine, a 2019. godine je odrekao se ukrajinskog državljanstva i postao državljanin Cipra. Godine 2023., ukrajinski predsjednik Volodimir Zelenski je odobrio sankcije protiv njega.
Monaški premijer Christophe Mirmand je izjavio da je najvjerojatnije riječ o terorističkom napadu, a da je takav incident nikada prije nije dogodio u Kneževini. On je također naglasio da su aktivirane sve relevantne državne službe, uključujući francusku policiju i hitne službe, kako bi se identificiralo odgovorno lice. U tijeku je i policijska operacija za pronašćenje osumnjičenika, a na mjestu događaja su prisutni pirotehničari i službenici sudske policije. Na granici prema Francuskoj, kod naplatne postaje La Turbie, su postavljene pojačane policijske kontrole.
Gradonačelnik obližnjeg francuskog grada Nice, Eric Ciotti, na društvenim mrežama opisao je eksploziju kao "tragediju", izrazivši podršku hitnim službama. Predsjednik departmanskog vijeća Alpes-Maritimes, Charles Ange Ginésy, je izrazio "najdublju solidarnost sa žrtvama, njihovim obiteljima i narodom Monaka". Monako je aktivirao takozvani "crveni plan", koji omogućuje mobilizaciju dodatnih resursa u izvanrednim situacijama. Francusko Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova potvrdilo je da su francuski spasilački timovi na terenu, a policije dviju država koordinirano rade na pronalasku osumnjičenog.
U tijeku su i detaljna istraživanja, uključujući analizu materijala i praćenje svih mogućih tragova. Istražitelji su u tijeku noći provedeni u analizi snimaka, dok su vlasti pokušavale identificirati osumnjičenika. Iako su izvješća o motivu napada još uvijek nesigurna, vlasti su naglasili da se radi o kazneno djelu s uporabom eksplozivne naprave. Iako je osumnjičenik još uvijek nestao, vlasti su izrazili duboko optušenje zbog ovog incidenta, koji je značajno utjecao na cijelu zajednicu Monaka.
