Police in Monaco and neighbouring France were searching on Tuesday (all times local) for a man suspected of detonating a makeshift bomb in Monaco that wounded several people, a local official said, while French and Ukrainian media reported that a Ukrainian-born oligarch was the intended target.

De politie is op zoek naar een man op de vlucht die ervan wordt verdacht daar een bom tot ontploffing te hebben gebracht.

Two of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries, police said. One of the wounded is Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev, a source said.

A Ukrainian oligarch was among three injured in a blast Monaco officials are describing as a terrorist attack.
