PARIS, July 3 (Reuters) - ‌Authorities suspect a woman of being the ​bomber who injured three people with an explosive device in Monaco ⁠on Monday, a judicial source in the Mediterranean principality said on Friday, adding that the suspect had been ​spotted in Germany.

Ukrainian-born businessman Vadym Yermolaiev, his partner and son were ‌wounded in the attack, other sources said earlier this week.

The suspect, seen on CCTV wearing a dark bucket hat and ⁠top, fled on foot to France, which ⁠does not have border checks with Monaco, officials said earlier this week, speaking at the time of a male suspect.

Authorities issued an arrest warrant for the suspect on ‌Thursday, adding that the person would also be subject ⁠to an Interpol Red Notice, a ‌request for law enforcement to locate ​and provisionally arrest a suspect no matter where they are found.

Authorities said they would provide further details in ‌the case later on Friday morning.

The principality, ​known for its casino ⁠and the luxury lifestyle of its wealthy ‌inhabitants, is located on the ⁠Mediterranean coast, surrounded by France.

The attacker left a parcel that exploded in front of a building in Monaco where ​the three victims live ‌in a ground-floor flat, Monaco prosecutor Stephane Thibault said on ⁠Tuesday.
