Monaco explosion wounds Ukrainian oligarch, police hunt suspect

Three people were seriously injured, two critically, in a deliberate explosion at a residential building in Monaco on Monday evening. A source close to the investigation identified one of the wounded as Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev. The blast occurred around 9pm local time in a building on a street along the French border. Public prosecutor Stephane Thibault said a suspect left a bag or package in the lobby before fleeing. Monaco's Minister of State Christophe Mirmand initially called it an attack but later described it as a deliberate explosion. Police are searching for the perpetrator, with an aide to France's Interior Minister Laurent Nunez confirming the manhunt. The motive remains unclear.
