A Ukrainian woman suspected of a bomb attack that targeted a wealthy Ukrainian-born businessman in Monaco has been found shot dead in Ukraine, according to Ukraine's prosecutor general's office.

In a statement on Tuesday, prosecutors said they also detained an employee of Ukraine's military intelligence service (HUR), who said he killed the woman together with another suspect.

Earlier, local media reported that the woman's body was found close to 11pm local time.

Anastasiia Berezovska, 39, was named as the chief suspect in an Interpol Red Notice.

It said she was Ukrainian, spoke German and was wanted by authorities in Monaco for attempted murder, placing an explosive device in a public place with criminal intent, and criminal conspiracy.

Monaco's deputy prosecutor Morgan Raymond said Berezovska had spent days checking out the residence "disguised as a man" before the attack last Monday.

He said the attacker had left Monaco by foot to neighbouring France, then fled by car to Germany via several European countries, including Italy.

Ukrainian-born Vadym Yermolaiev, his partner and son were wounded in the attack, sources said.

Berezovska had arrived in Ukraine two days after the attack on July 1, officials said.
