Police in Monaco and France were searching for a suspected bomber on Tuesday after three people were wounded by an explosion in the wealthy principality, which two sources said was an attack on a Ukrainian-born oligarch.
Two of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries, police said. One of the wounded is Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev, a source said.
Monaco authorities say a person was arrested but later released as they “very actively” pursue their probe of an explosion that reportedly wounded a Ukrainian tycoon with ties to Russia and two other people.

Ukraine confirmed that it lost control of four naval drones due to suspected Russian electronic warfare a day before one of them exploded in the Constanța Port on June 5, according to Romania's Ministry of National Defense (MApN).
The explosion, which also injured Vadym and their son, occurred as they returned home. Security footage captured a suspect leaving a backpack with explosives.
