Overview
- CCTV captured a person leaving a backpack in the foyer of a residential block on Rue Révérend-Père-Louis-Frolla shortly before an explosion around 9pm on Monday, June 29, that injured at least three people.
- Officials confirmed two adults are in serious or critical condition and a 13-year-old was also hurt as emergency crews activated Monaco’s 'red plan' to manage multiple casualties.
- The suspect was seen fleeing on foot toward the neighbouring French town of Beausoleil and Monaco and French forces have launched a coordinated manhunt using CCTV and on-the-ground reinforcements.
- Monaco’s Minister of State said investigators believe the device likely contained bolts and shot and bomb-disposal teams and judicial police are collecting forensic evidence at the scene.
- Local media have named a prominent Ukrainian businessman among the wounded but prosecutors have not confirmed identities or motive and officials say key details remain under investigation, a development that could affect security measures for high-profile residents along the French Riviera.
