An explosion occurred in Monaco, likely targeting Ukrainian oligarch Vadim Yermak, who holds Cypriot citizenship. Investigators believe a woman in her thirties, living in Germany, may be involved, as she was seen near the location with a large black hat, black vest over white clothing, and white athletic shoes. The device contained screws and bullets, initially raising concerns about a terrorist attack. However, Monaco's chief prosecutor stated the incident is being investigated as attempted murder and placing an explosive device in a public area, not as terrorism.
