An explosion occurred in front of a residential building in Monaco, resulting in three injuries, two of them serious. Authorities believe this was likely an attack using an explosive device, marking the first incident of this kind in the country's history.
On 30 June 2026, an explosion took place in front of a residential building on Rue Révérend Père Louis Frolla, near the French border in Monaco, at approximately 9:00 PM local time. Initial reports indicate at least three people were injured, two critically, and were taken to the hospital.
Christophe Mirmond, Minister of State of Monaco, revealed that preliminary information suggests this was likely an attack and officials are investigating the cause.
