“"This morning, the enemy carried out an inhumane attack. Ukrainian troops attempted to deliver a strike on a maternity clinic in Novokuibyshevsk where there were newborns, expectant mothers, patients of the gynecology department and staff at the time of the attack which occurred in close vicinity to the clinic," he wrote, adding that patients and newly-born babies have been urgently evacuated to nearby clinics.”

One specifically mentions her labeling a drone attack in Tatarstan as a 'terrorist act,' and another references her describing an incident as a 'terror act.' This meets the requirement of 2+ independent sources reporting the same general assertion.
