BRIAN CHEUNG: We're continuing to watch developments out of Eastern Europe. Some new images coming out of Ukraine, where Russian forces are battling for control of a key energy-producing city in the south. This explosion that you're watching happened just outside of the city which is the home of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. Video released yesterday showed massive crowds of residents blocking the city's entrance to prevent Russian troops from gaining access, waving flags as you can see there in the middle of the road. They rallied around barricades of cars, trucks, and sandbags along the way.
