Explosion in Monaco: Attack on sanctioned Ukrainian oligarch

A powerful explosion rocked the lobby of a residential building in Monte Carlo. The target of the attack was a former Ukrainian businessman from the Forbes top 100, who was placed under personal sanctions by Zelenskyy at the end of 2023. The oligarch, his wife, and their 13-year-old son were injured. The parents are in critical condition in a hospital in Nice, while the teenager sustained minor injuries. Monaco's Prime Minister Christophe Mirman called the incident a terrorist attack and noted it was an unprecedented event for the principality. Prince Albert II expressed deep shock.
