What is the expiation for killing a fetus?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the expiation for killing a fetus like the expiation for killing a human being?

Answer:
Yes, if the soul has been breathed into it, if the soul has been breathed into it after four months or more, then killing it is like killing a soul, like killing a newborn, the same, because it is killing a soul, yes.
