TL;DR

Monaco has identified a foreign suspect in the parcel bombing that wounded Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev and two others; prosecutors say an arrest warrant will be issued and an Interpol Red Notice prepared, with the investigation treating the blast as attempted murder rather than terrorism. The suspect fled toward Beausoleil after the explosion near Monaco's border with France, and local media report the person of interest may be a woman. Victims' identities haven't been publicly confirmed; Yermolaiev is a Cypriot citizen with Ukrainian ties who has sanctions history in Kyiv.
