In brief
A 39‑year‑old Ukrainian woman, Anastasiia Berezovska, was found dead in Ukraine after a parcel bomb in Monaco injured a sanctioned multi‑millionaire and his family. The bomb, which detonated on 29 June in an apartment lobby, prompted a cross‑border manhunt following her presumed escape from the city‑state. Ukraine’s Security Service reports her body showed gunshot wounds to the head, and two men – one an officer of the defence ministry – have been detained on murder suspicion. Interpol had issued a red alert for her arrest, raising concerns about cross‑border security and the role of defence officials in public safety.
