Suspected Terror Bombing Injures Three in Monaco

Three individuals have been left injured after a suspected terror bombing in the wealthy European microstate of Monaco.

Officials have reported that a backpack device was dropped off and subsequently detonated outside of the tourist hotspot Place des Moulins. Authorities say that the explosive was deliberate and that the perpetrator deployed a device containing various metal implements in the hopes of causing “maximum damage.”

The victims of the attack all appear to be members of a family with Ukrainian origins. Two of the victims are reportedly in critical condition. The victims are reportedly a couple in their 50s or 60s as well as a 13-year-old “very likely related” to the other victims, according to a report from France24. Images uploaded to social media show blast debris thrown into the street by the force of the explosion.

The perpetrator remains at-large with a manhunt underway. No motive is known at this time.
