Interpol issued a Red Notice on Friday for 39-year-old Anastasiia Berezovska, who is wanted in Monaco on charges of attempted murder and criminal intent to place an explosive device on a public road. The notice followed an explosion that occurred in Monaco on Monday. Authorities said the device was detonated remotely by remote control, and its remains are now being analyzed in France.

Initial CCTV images showed a heavily built person appearing to be male, wearing a dark long-sleeved top, light-colored shorts and a black bucket hat. Further review of footage from previous days and witness testimony shifted the focus to a woman disguised as a man. Berezovska is described as having a tattoo, possibly of a snake, running from her shoulder to her right elbow.
She is a German speaker whose last known residence was in Germany. Investigators believe she fled through France and then Italy in a rental car. The blast reportedly targeted Vadym Yermolaiev, 58, a Ukrainian-born businessman who holds Cypriot nationality, along with his partner and his 13-year-old son.
Monaco's Prince Albert II called the attack an odious act and said all public services had been mobilized to maintain security. Monaco is one of the world's smallest sovereign states and is known for its large number of wealthy residents.
