Space station crew shelters during emergency air leak repair

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station were ordered to shelter in a Dragon Space capsule while Russian cosmonauts attempted repairs on worsening air leaks in a transfer tunnel. The microscopic cracks in the Russian section have been present for six to seven years but recently began leaking more air, prompting cosmonauts to use a saw for a more permanent fix rather than another patch-up job. After approximately two hours, one leak was repaired and the emergency was lifted, though one leak remains unaddressed.
