Bikes: Too Numerous (not)

That new --I'd be looking for warranty relief. Broken spokes tend to come in bunches in my experience, but usually for older wheels that have been ridden a long time with uneven tensions (essentially ignored). Even one broken spoke (again, my opinion) warrants a serious look at the wheel; two suggests a complete rebuild.

Mitigating factors might be gouging damage from the chain being wedged between cassette and spokes. That might suggest only swapping the whole group that is gouged. Which spokes broke? Have you ever had your chain slip to the inside?
