A device detonated on Monday 29 June 2026 on the steps of a residential building on Rue Révérend-Père-Louis-Frolla, leaving multiple victims with severe injuries including amputations and burns.
A criminal explosion rocked a residential building on Rue Révérend-Père-Louis-Frolla on Monday evening, 29 June 2026, causing serious casualties in one of Monaco's quieter inner streets. Several people were injured, with at least one woman in a critical condition overnight.
Among those hurt, doctors have reported amputated limbs, significant burns and shrapnel wounds, pointing to a device of considerable destructive force. The nature and severity of the injuries confirm that investigators are treating the incident as a deliberate criminal act rather than an accident.
Monaco's emergency services and the Sûreté Publique responded to the scene, with the most critically injured transferred for urgent specialist care. Residents in the surrounding area of La Condamine were advised to stay clear of the street as forensic and investigative teams worked through the night.
Authorities have not yet named any suspects or established a motive. Further details are expected as the judicial investigation progresses.
