Monaco authorities are searching for a suspect who fled on foot after an explosive device detonated at an apartment building entrance, injuring three people, including a reported Ukrainian tycoon, the principality's chief prosecutor said Tuesday.
The suspect acted alone and remains at large, Prosecutor Stephane Thibault said, adding that the motive remains unclear.
Monaco police have opened an attempted murder investigation into Monday night's incident but aren't qualifying it as a terrorism investigation, Thibault told reporters. The motive remains unclear.
One of the three injured is a woman in life-threatening condition, according to Thibault, who said a man is no longer in life-threatening condition, while a child's life isn't in danger. He did not provide their identities.
The suspect left immediately after the incident on foot, using stairs to get away via a small street to the neighboring French town of Beausoleil, according to surveillance footage.
