Departing Saudia Cargo 747 'departs' runway

Maastricht-Aachen Airport, late Saturday evening, approx. 22:25 UTC.

A Saudia Cargo 747-428F(ER) bound for Jeddah has somehow left the paved surfaces during line-up or the beginning of the take-off run, and is now standing "in the grass", according to media sources and Flightradar24 imagery.
Airplane is TC-ACR, operating as SV / SVA916.

The source below suggests thrust asymmetry due to engine ‘failure’.

"The aircraft suffered engine failure then rejected takeoff, leading some of the wheels into the grass." (https://twitter.com/airlivenet)
