TL;DR

Interpol has issued a search request for a woman suspected in the bomb attack that wounded Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolaiev in Monaco, according to a report. The suspect allegedly planted an improvised explosive device outside a residential building on Monday night.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Interpol is now involved in the international search for a woman suspected of planting the bomb that wounded Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolaiev in Monaco on Monday night, according to a report published Friday afternoon. Monaco authorities have previously confirmed that the improvised explosive device was planted by a female suspect, whose identity remains unknown. The attack — which also wounded Yermolaiev's wife and their 13-year-old son, along with four others — was described by Monaco's Minister of State Christophe Mirmand as "probably a terrorist attack" and the first of its kind in the principality. As The Zioneer has reported over the past week, the explosion injured seven people total, with later reports confirming life-threatening wounds. French authorities have been assisting in the manhunt since the blast. The Interpol alert marks a significant expansion of the search beyond Europe, though no further details on the suspect's possible whereabouts have been released.
