As Joel Montalbano, head of the American ISS program, said, air leaks from the ISS continue,
We keep the hatch to the service module, where small air leaks occur, mostly closed. We are still detecting minor leaks. That's a little over a pound a day. It doesn't bother us.

According to Montalbano, this has nothing to do with the incident on the Science module.
Recall that earlier the module was successfully docked.to the ISS, after which its engines suddenly turned on. Because of this, the height of the station has been changed. It has now been restored. NASA noted that there is no danger to the crew.
This situation has happened to others beforedevices on the ISS. Montalbano added that there were perhaps two more cases when the engines were unintentionally turned on, so no less such situations are considered emergencies.
