French TV channel BFM TV reports that Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolaiev was wounded in an explosion in Monaco. The blast comes hours after a separate explosion in Monaco injured three other Ukrainians, with police hunting a suspected bomber.
The development: French broadcaster BFM TV reported that Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolaiev was wounded in an explosion in Monaco, according to a single source source. The blast comes after a separate explosion earlier tonight in Monaco, as The Zioneer previously reported (00:23 Jerusalem), in which three individuals described by local police as Ukrainians were injured. Authorities are hunting a suspected bomber in connection with that earlier incident. It remains unclear whether the two explosions are linked or whether Yermolaiev was targeted in the same attack or a different one. The report is attributed to a single French media outlet and has not been independently corroborated.
