- The explosion struck the foyer of a residential building near Boulevard d'Italie and Rue du Révérend Père Louis Frolla, according to officials.
- Monaco's minister Christophe Mirmand and prosecutor Stéphane Thibault said the incident is "very likely" a deliberate attack and that a bag or package was left before the blast.
- Officials reported the device likely contained bolts, shrapnel or hunting pellets and said two adults are in critical condition while a 13-year-old sustained less severe injuries.
- Media outlets say surveillance footage shows a person fleeing in beige trousers and a dark jacket and emergency services, police and senior government figures were mobilized to the scene.
- Multiple outlets report the victims are a Ukrainian family and name oligarch Vadim Ermolaev as a possible target but Monaco authorities have not confirmed that reporting and the investigation remains active
