One of Ukraine‘s richest men is said to be fighting for his life after a shrapnel-filled backpack bomb exploded at a luxury apartment in Monaco.
Vadim Ermolaev, also known as Vadym Yermolaiev, was reportedly seriously hurt alongside his wife and teenage son when they were ‘targeted’ on Monday night.
Grim photos from the scene show the blood-splattered entry of the Sun’s Palace on Rue Révérend Père Louis Frolla, near the French border. An attacker is said to have planted a backpack full of nuts and bolts not long before the explosion.
In the hours after the blast, police were still be searching for the suspect.
