I was gonna say. It looks too small to be a turbine engine with compressors but then again them make ‘em small these days. It’s probably just an intake and exhaust for the motor that runs the prop.

The pair of them— each side of the rear fuselage. Depending on how much of a pylon distance away from the body (ie. whether the jet exhaust is outside the radius of the spinning- or not propeller) would be an issue.

If the prop is like one of those “take off” ultralight design that folds up and retracts into the tail fuselage— maybe it is not an issue. Not going to click on CNN ever.
