The blast wounded two adults and a child who were taken to hospitals in France. Authorities identified Berezovska via video surveillance in Monaco and the neighboring French town of Beausoleil, with both French and Monaco authorities currently searching for her. According to CBS News, she is wanted on charges of attempted murder and criminal intent of placing an explosive device on a public road.
Berezovska has a tattoo, possibly a snake, from her shoulder to her right elbow and speaks German. She was last seen running away from Monaco disguised in a bucket hat after the explosion. A Red Notice by Interpol was issued along with an arrest warrant for Berezovska. According to CBS News, Monaco's deputy public prosecutor Morgan Raymon stated that the suspect's last known residence was in Germany and is believed to have fled through France, then Italy in a rental car.
The bomb contained bolts and buckshot and was detonated from a distance using a remote control, according to Monaco's Minister of State Christophe Mirmand. About 50 firefighters and 80 security personnel were deployed at the scene. The remains of the bomb are being analyzed in France, as reported by CBS News.
Iermolaiev has been subject to sanctions from Kyiv since December 2023 due to his business activities in Russian-occupied Crimea. The explosion shocked the elite principality on the Mediterranean Coast, with Prince Albert II calling it 'a heinous crime' and 'a shock to the entire Monegasque community'.
