On TK1878's first landing attempt at Istanbul, the aircraft apparently suffered a landing gear collapse and engine failure before it aborted the landing and made a second attempt. When the gear collaped, the wing appears to have been damaged which can be seen in the photos in the link and the video. Fortunately, at this stage there are no reports of injuries.

On a side note, for relatively minor/non fatal accidents where there normally isn't extensive discussion, do you think we should start a new thread like this or put it all in a minor incidents thread.
Update;
The following photo shows that the rear/exhaust section of the cowling detached as well as part of the flaps and the winglet somehow rotated. The open gear doors also shows there was some sort of problem/failure with one of the hydraulic systems.
