Note that ISS crew earlier today has briefly taken shelter in their docked CrewDragon and Soyuz spacecraft because of a close approch from space debris, that might or might not be be related: https://www.rt.com/news/540273-iss-crew-hide-space-debris/ Navigational Warning *perhaps* related (if event was today and not this weekend as some sources claim): HYDROARC 314/2021 (38) ARCTIC.
