A Ukrainian woman identified as the main suspect in a parcel bombing in Monaco was "disguised as a man" when she carried out the attack, the city-state's deputy prosecutor said.

Monaco's Prosecutor General, Stéphane Thibault, confirmed the suspect was a Ukrainian woman in her 30s, currently registered as living in Germany.

The suspect, who was captured on CCTV wearing a black fisherman's hat, is believed to be a woman who tried to pass off as a man, according to local news
