Space station crew briefly moves to "safe haven" amid concerns over leaks

TL;DR

Five of the seven crew members aboard the ISS were briefly moved to the SpaceX Crew Dragon "Freedom" spacecraft, designated a "safe haven."
The move was a precautionary measure while two cosmonauts worked to repair two small air leaks in the Russian Zvezda module.
Roscosmos stated the space station was not in danger, one leak was sealed, and preparations were underway for the second.
Repair efforts were paused for further assessment, and the crew returned to normal operations.
Small air leaks have been monitored in the module's tunnel segment since 2019, with mixed results in repair attempts.
NASA and Roscosmos are collaborating to find a permanent solution to the leaks.
