Suspect in Monaco bombing attack found shot dead in Ukraine, officials say

Anastasiia Berezovska, the woman suspected of carrying out a bombing attack in Monaco last week, has been found shot dead in Kyiv, Ukraine, according to officials. Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian national for whom Interpol had issued a Red Notice, was wanted in connection with the explosion that targeted Ukrainian magnate Vadym Yermolaiev and his family in an apartment building lobby. The blast seriously injured Yermolaiev and his wife, while their teenage son sustained lesser injuries.

Ukrainian authorities have since detained two men on suspicion of Berezovska's murder. One suspect is identified as a current employee of Ukraine's military intelligence service (HUR), and the other is a former law enforcement officer. The HUR employee reportedly confessed to the killing, claiming he acted independently without the knowledge of his superiors.

The investigation revealed that the detained men had made cryptocurrency and bank transfers to Berezovska. Furthermore, during searches, a basement resembling a "torture chamber" was reportedly discovered at the former law enforcement officer's residence. The unfolding events have sparked concern among Ukrainian lawmakers regarding potential diplomatic repercussions with Western allies.
