Monaco bombing attack suspect found dead in Ukraine, officials say

Anastasiia Berezovska, the primary suspect in a recent bombing attack in Monaco, was found dead near Kyiv, Ukraine, on July 6, 2026. Ukrainian media reported that her body was discovered late on Monday, and she appeared to have been shot. Berezovska had been the subject of an Interpol Red Notice for attempted murder and placing an explosive device following the Monaco incident.

The bombing occurred on June 29, 2026, targeting Ukrainian-born businessman Vadym Yermolaiev, his partner, and their son at their Monaco residence. While Yermolaiev sustained injuries, his partner suffered severe wounds, reportedly leading to the amputation of both her legs. Berezovska, who had reportedly disguised herself, fled Monaco on foot into France and then by car through several European countries before her trail was lost in Germany.

Following her death, Ukrainian authorities have reportedly detained two individuals in connection with Berezovska's killing. One of the arrested suspects is identified as a serving officer with Ukraine's Main Directorate of Intelligence, and the other is a former law enforcement official. Investigations are ongoing into both the Monaco bombing and Berezovska's death, with questions arising about potential masterminds behind the initial attack.
