Ukrainian woman linked to Monaco bombing found dead near Kyiv

A Ukrainian woman who was suspected of planting a parcel bomb in Monaco last week has been found dead near Kyiv, according to the local newspaper Ukrainska Pravda. The discovery was confirmed by Ukraine’s prosecutor general’s office, which also announced the detention of an employee of Ukraine’s military intelligence service. The intelligence officer reportedly told investigators that he had killed the woman together with another suspect involved in the Monaco plot.

The case follows the recent explosion in Monaco that prompted an international investigation into the origins of the device and the individuals behind it. Ukrainian authorities are now pursuing the remaining suspect and continuing their inquiry into the alleged involvement of military intelligence personnel. The prosecutor general’s office said the investigation remains ongoing as officials work to determine the full scope of the operation.
