According to foreign media reports, the incident occurred on June 29 in Monaco, where Yermolov was targeted in an apparent explosive attack. The newly released footage shows a suspected woman placing an object near the entrance of a building before walking away while repeatedly looking back.
The video reportedly captures the moment when Yermolov arrived at the location with his family, after which an explosion occurred. The billionaire survived the attack, but his 13-year-old son and wife sustained serious injuries.
Authorities have been investigating the incident as an attempted targeted attack. Reports said that the woman allegedly involved in the operation was later found dead in Kyiv, several days after the incident. The circumstances surrounding her death remain under investigation.
Following the attack, Yermolov reportedly requested additional security protection, expressing concerns over his safety and that of his family.
The incident has drawn attention due to Yermolov’s high-profile status and the unusual nature of the attack in Monaco, a country generally known for strict security measures and a low crime rate.
Investigators are working to determine the motive behind the attack, identify any individuals or groups that may have been involved, and establish whether the suspected attacker acted alone or as part of a wider plan.
Security officials have not yet released detailed information about possible suspects or the source of the explosive device used in the attack.
