quote the president's point was that putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region. he was not discussing putin's power in russia or regime change. this escalation of rhetoric included a warning for russia not to move beyond ukraine's borders. don't even think. about moving on one single inch of nato territory. we have sacred obligation. we have a sacred obligation under article five to defend each and every inch of nato territory. the full force of our collective power. all of this happened the same day multiple explosions hit love. even crane, the governor of that region, says a man has been detained on suspicion of espionage at the site of a rocket attack. jeff paul has a story from levi. as night falls here in la vive any sort of sense of security this city might have had left is now gone. officials confirming two missile strikes happening about a mile

away from the city center where we are where fire crews right now are actively trying to put out a fire that happened shortly after that attack. our sources believe the target was an oil or fuel depot, according to the head of the regional levin military ministrations. as many as five people were injured, so we were inside the epicenter and we heard the siren. so everyone left and we were sitting in a car for a couple of minutes. after that. it was the first time and after a couple of seconds, maybe such a seconds second bombing. and everyone left to the shelter. the mayor of la vive, saying the russian army is responsible. but he says the impact of this attack on other buildings in the area right now appears to be minimal. after a fairly quiet few days running around 4 17 local time is when we started to hear the first air raid sirens go off. there was some sort of rumbling in the general area, and after a

short time, that's when we started to see thick black smoke billowing into the air. the mayor of la vive is warning residents. after today's most recent attack, there could be more on the horizon, but he is pointing out the location in time of today's strike, saying that he believes it was a way for putin to say hello. the president biden in the ukraine. jeff paul fox news. all today, demonstrators in castro valley lined up along redwood road and castro valley boulevard, holding signs and waving ukrainian flags and a show of solidarity state senator bob mycoskie wachowski rather also taking part in the event. he told us the rally was a way to show unified support for the ukrainian people, no matter political beliefs. it's nice for finally put down their political differences and say we're united on this. the europeans unite on this. we're all in it together, and it warms one's hard. this was just one of many ukrainians support rallies happening across the world. today the invasion is creating

who the attacker might be someone his father knows, but he didn't want to elaborate in case he's wrong. the first time honestly, like i said, we thought it was random. but when you come into the property here now it's targeted. now it's targeted. i mean, we have suspicious who might be, but we can't say it because that's not right, you know, but we have a pretty good idea who it is. additional footage from a neighbor's surveillance video shows the suspect fleeing the scene wearing gray pants, a black hoodie cap and mask. so far, no one in the family has been able to id the suspect in any of the videos, but they're hoping someone who saw something will come forward and contact police. in daly city. greg liggins ktvu fox two news. we're following developing news on the east coast tonight. the partial collapse of a parking garage kills one person plus it was my first time being a tornado, and that's my profit in my last time. well, the 16 year old
