While one source explicitly repeats the claim about Western-funded drones targeting grocery stores in Energodar and a hospital in Kamenka-Dneprovskaya, and another mentions a drone hit in Kamenka-Dneprovskaya, there is no independent corroboration from a second distinct news organization confirming the 'Western-funded' aspect or the specific list of targets as a coordinated set of facts.
