744 F lost inboard flap, impacted fuselage and tail

"A MyCargo Airlines Boeing 747-400 freighter on behalf of Saudi Arabian Airlines, registration TC-ACM performing freight flight SV-931 (dep Sep 15th) from Dammam (Saudi Arabia) to Frankfurt/Main (Germany), landed on Frankfurt's runway 07R with the crew maintaining routine communication and taxied to the apron.
A post flight inspection revealed the right hand inboard trailing edge foreflap was missing from the airframe, the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer showed a dent, the fuselage a hole.
On Sep 18th 2018 Germany's BFU reported, the occurrence was reported to the BFU, the occurrence was rated an accident and is being investigated. Due to the ongoing investigation no further information like, whether the missing flap could be found/recovered or whether the crew did notice any anomaly and when, can be provided. Those details will probably become available in the preliminary or interim report respective final report."
