Skyup 738 and Saudia A330 damaged (beyond repair at least in the case of the A330).

SkyUp is a write-off too. Twitter video shows a serious fire within the fuselage aft of the wing. Another SkyUp B738 (UR-SQA) is parking alongside the burning aircraft, hope it did not catch fire as well.

Saudia A330 looks to have had slides deployed, indicating potentially having pax onboard at the time?

EDIT: Sorry, confused with SkyUp parked next to the burning SkyUp
