TL;DR

Ukrainian reports say the body of Anastasia Berezovska, 39, the Ukrainian national suspected of planting an explosive device in Monaco last week, was found with gunshot wounds in Kyiv on Monday evening. Two suspects have been arrested, including a Ukrainian intelligence officer and a former law enforcement official, according to Israeli media.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The Zioneer reported earlier today that the body of Anastasia Berezovska, the Ukrainian woman suspected of planting a bomb in Monaco that wounded oligarch Vadym Yermolayev and his family, was found shot dead in Kyiv. Now, additional details from Ukrainian reports indicate that two suspects have been arrested in connection with her murder: a Ukrainian intelligence officer and a former law enforcement official. The arrests suggest a possible inside operation or cover-up.

Berezovska had been wanted internationally after the June 29 Monaco explosion, which injured seven people, including Yermolayev, his wife, and son. Interpol had issued a wanted notice for her. She was last seen in Germany before fleeing to Ukraine, where she was found dead Monday evening. The investigation is ongoing, and the motives remain unclear.
