Looking at the damage I'd suggest a turbine blade failure (either an internal component has worked/blown loose and impacted the turbine blades or there's been a blade failure due to a manufacturing problem.. This is supported by where the damage occured on the wing and also the rear casings that have been blown off

The turbine blades are at the rear of the engine which the thrust from the compressed air/fuel mixture igniting acts upon to turn the more forward compressor and fan blades..
