A Turkish Airlines A320 performing flight TK1878 from Milan to Istanbul landed with its right engine on fire on the second attempt.

It's unclear at the moment if the engine caught fire during the first landing attempt which was aborted, or on approach for the second landing which was successful.

The engine was on fire after the first landing and subsequent go-around. What you see in the video is what looks like the right main failing, the right nacelle scraping the runway producing sparks.

Here's another video of the landing, but taken from further down the runway so that you can see when the aircraft slewed around and the chutes deployed.
