Russian security forces raided the Moscow offices of Novaya Gazeta, an independent newspaper, and detained an investigative journalist. The newspaper reported that the search was conducted without explanation of the reasons behind the operation. Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, citing sources, suggested the raid may be connected to alleged illegal use of personal data. Novaya Gazeta is one of Russia's few remaining independent media outlets and has faced increasing pressure from authorities as part of a broader crackdown on press freedom and civil society organizations.
