Ukraine's Ministry of Transport reported in their monthly bulletin that the trailing edges of 6 blades of the first stage low pressure compressor were damaged with dents of up to 0.3mm on four blades. The investigation further established that the aircraft was climbing through a zone of severe icing, which resulted in ice building up at the first stage compressor blades resulting in an engine imbalance and vibrations.
