Explosion in Monaco Suspected as Terrorist Attack; Three Injured

A powerful explosion rocked Monaco, injuring three people and prompting authorities to investigate the incident as a likely terrorist attack. The blast occurred around 9 p.m. near the entrance of a residential building. Local officials believe the event was not accidental, especially after a suspect was captured on surveillance cameras leaving a bag before fleeing.

Minister Christophe Mirmand stated, "This is the first time in history, as far as I know, that such an act has occurred in the Principality." He added, "This is likely a terrorist attack."

The explosion caused severe injuries to a couple in their fifties and sixties, who are believed to be Ukrainian nationals and members of the same family. A 13-year-old boy also sustained minor injuries. The immediate aftermath saw a significant police and security response to secure the area and begin the investigation.

Authorities are actively pursuing the suspect who was seen abandoning the bag. The incident marks a significant and concerning event for the principality, which has historically been spared such acts of violence. The investigation is ongoing to determine the full circumstances and motives behind the explosion.
