Nasa tells ISS astronauts to shelter during air leak repair attempt

NASA has instructed astronauts on the International Space Station to take shelter as a precautionary measure during a Russian attempt to repair an air leak in a tunnel area. The safe-haven procedure is being implemented to protect the five astronauts onboard who are not directly involved in the repair effort. The air leak is located in a Russian module, and the repair attempt is being made to prevent any further issues. The astronauts are expected to remain in a safe area until the repair is completed and the area is deemed safe.
