  In the US, you almost never see law enforcement raid a news outlet’s HQ, but on Friday, police did just that to the Marion County Record in Marion, Kansas, making off with computers, cellphones, and servers. The raid raised alarms from press freedom groups, which called it a brazen attack on the First Amendment. The paper also said that its co-owner, 98-year-old Joan Meyer, died on Saturday “stressed beyond her limits” following a police raid on her house. The chief of the Marion Police Department said law enforcement’s actions will be vindicated once the details are made public.

  A Russian warship on Sunday fired warning shots at a cargo ship in the southwestern Black Sea as it made its way northwards, the first time Russia has fired on merchant shipping beyond Ukraine since exiting a landmark UN-brokered grain deal last month.
  
  Russia in July halted participation in the Black Sea grain deal that allowed Ukraine to export agricultural produce via the Black Sea and Moscow cautioned that it deemed all ships heading to Ukrainian waters to be potentially carrying weapons.
  
  Russia said in a statement that its Vasily Bykov patrol ship had fired automatic weapons on the Palau-flagged Sukru Okan vessel after the ship's captain failed to respond to a request to halt for an inspection.

  U.S. retail gasoline prices on Friday were closing in on year-ago levels as a rally in crude oil prices shows no sign of easing, data showed.
  
  Travel club AAA put the national average retail price at $3.84 for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline, unchanged from week-ago levels but almost 30 cents per gallon more than this time last month.
  
  Retail gasoline prices, according to an Energy Department forecast, should stay suppressed, with an annual average of $3.56 per gallon for this year and $3.45 for 2024. Prices could rise further, however, as the long Labor Day holiday weekend approaches.
