Astronauts on the ISS brace for emergency evacuation after NASA finds 50 'areas of concern'
NASA has raised the threat level to the highest rating
NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station are preparing for a possible evacuation as they face a worsening air leak problem.
The US space agency and its Russian counterpart, Roscomos, are tracking 50 'areas of concern' related to a growing leak aboard the station.
In a recent report from NASA's Office of the Inspector General (OIG), the cracks in a Russian service module have reached a 'top safety risk,' marking it a five-out-of-five threat level.
This story is the only one I can find. Can someone please corroborate this?

Article on Arstechnica from July 2024 titled "As leaks on the space station worsen, there’s no clear plan to deal with them" https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/06/on-the-space-station-band-aid-fixes-for-systemic-problems/ [arstechnica.com]
The article from July hits all of the "hot news" I've noticed on the recent uncorroborated "Evacuation Notice" news articles.

My bad, it's from June 2024, not July 2024. For the sake of an edit button.
