Three people were injured in an apparent parcel bomb attack in central Monaco on Monday evening, triggering a major security operation in the principality. Although Monégasque authorities did not confirm the identities of those injured, French media reported Ukrainian-born Cypriot businessman Vadim Ermolaev to be among the victims. Once one of Ukraine’s wealthiest businessmen, he was sanctioned by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in 2023 over allegations that companies linked to him paid taxes in Russian-occupied Crimea. He has denied wrongdoing. Prince Albert II of Monaco condemned what he described as a “criminal explosion,” calling it “a shock for the entire Monégasque community,” and praised emergency services for their response. But Monégasque authorities declined to offer possible motives for the bombing. “I believe we must be cautious about the legal classification of the incident,” Minister of State Christophe Mirmand told POLITICO. He added that two victims were in critical condition and a third had suffered serious injuries. Mirmand said Monaco had “put in place all protective measures” to raise vigilance across the principality’s services. He added that officials had not determined the victims’ identities or nationalities, and said he was unaware of “any specific threats” against Ukrainians. The Monégasque government described the blast in a post on X as a “violent explosion linked to a booby-trapped package” that occurred near Place des Moulins shortly before 9 p.m. The area was immediately cordoned off as police opened a judicial investigation. According to Monaco Public Security, cited by BFM Nice, surveillance cameras captured a man leaving a backpack at the foot of the residential building before walking away moments before the explosion. Authorities later tracked a suspect fleeing toward the neighboring French town of Beausoleil, prompting a joint investigation with French authorities. Eighty-four police officers and 50 firefighters from Monaco and France were deployed, while forensic teams remained at the scene late into the evening. Monaco’s attorney general is expected to present the first findings of the investigation on Tuesday, including the legal classification of the attack.

Iran rejected French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to cooperate on clearing mines from the Strait of Hormuz on Monday evening, warning Paris against intervening in one of the world’s most strategically important waterways. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi dismissed the bid to have a group of countries, including France and the U.K., work together to demine the waterway, arguing it violated the existing provisional peace agreement Iran signed with U.S. President Donald Trump. “According to the Islamabad memorandum of understanding, demining is carried out solely by Iran and by no other country, and we fundamentally do not permit any such thing,” Gharibabadi wrote on X. Calling the situation “sensitive and complex,” he added: “We strongly advise France not to complicate it further with its provocations.” The remarks were a direct response to Macron, who earlier on Monday said he had discussed the maritime mission with Oman’s Sultan Haitham bin Tarik and agreed to safeguard shipping and guarantee “free and unconditional passage” through the waterway. Tehran also cast doubt on the U.S.-Iran talks expected to take place in Doha this week. Following an exchange of strikes over the weekend, Washington and Tehran agreed to halt attacks and resume talks on Monday. President Trump announced discussions would take place in Doha, but on Monday Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei insisted no negotiations with the United States were scheduled. “We will not have any negotiation meetings at any level with the American side in the coming days,” he said. The latest disagreement underscores how fragile the ceasefire remains. The June 17 agreement gave Washington and Tehran 60 days to implement a 14-point memorandum covering navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s nuclear program and negotiations toward a permanent truce, but both sides have repeatedly accused each other of violating its terms.
