A blast from an explosive device injures three people at a residential building in Monaco, and authorities say the suspected attacker flees to France. The explosion occurs around 9 p.m. at or near the entryway of a residence close to the French border.

French and Ukrainian media report that a Ukrainian businessman and his family are among the injured, though authorities describe the motive as under investigation. Police and other security services in Monaco and France are searching for the suspect. Officials say the person crosses into France on foot and is identified through video surveillance in Monaco and the neighboring French town of Beausoleil. Monaco’s Prince Albert II condemns the attack and states that government services are mobilized to ensure security. Multiple outlets describe the device as a makeshift bomb, and several reports characterize the incident as deliberate, while the full circumstances remain unclear.
