A Russian Pacific Fleet warship approached to within 60 metres of a US destroyer threatening to violate Russia's maritime borders in the Sea of Japan on Friday.
The US Treasury Department on Friday issued new guidelines to warn cryptocurrency users of the perils of sanctions violations, reminding them that it has increasingly targeted the industry for funding money laundering and ransomware acts.
“The growing prevalence of virtual currency as a payment method likewise brings greater exposure to sanctions risks - like the risk that a sanctioned person or a person in a jurisdiction subject to sanctions might be involved in a virtual currency transaction,” the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) said in the guide.

'Not into golden showers': Donald Trump denies 'pee tape' allegations at GOP retreat
According to the Washington Post, the ex-POTUS addressed allegations about him hiring prostitutes to urinate on a bed at the Moscow Ritz-Carlton.
🗣 "I’m not into golden showers," Trump said. "You know the great thing, our great first lady — ‘That one,’ she said, ‘I don’t believe that one.'"
The voyeuristic act was mentioned, but never confirmed, in a so called 'Steele dossier', a document compiled and produced in 2016 for a private investigative firm hired by the Clinton campaign to dig up dirt on Trump.

🇦🇫💵 The US has offered to pay the families of Afghans who died in the August 29 drone strike in Kabul - the last such act before American troops officially withdrew from Afghanistan.
In a Friday statement, the Pentagon pledged an unspecified condolence payment to the relatives of 10 civilians after a drone strike targeted a van being driven by Zemari Ahmadi. It was believed that Ahmadi had ties to the Islamic State; however, the claim has since been debunked.
Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby has since described the drone strike as a “tragic mistake” that ultimately killed “innocent victims who bore no blame.”
