Summary
NASA briefly directed five of the seven International Space Station crew members to take shelter inside a docked SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft as a precaution while two Russian cosmonauts worked to address small air leaks in a compartment at the rear of the Russian Zvezda module. The "safe haven" protocol was enacted out of an abundance of caution, and the situation was resolved without incident.
