According to DAWN News, an engine of UR-WRH is also damaged. Probably engine cover scraped during landing?

The A321 was carrying more than two hundred passengers, according to news sources.

As far as I know, Windrose aircraft wet leased to airblue visit respected/reputed engineering facilities in Europe for maintenance checks.

^ Agreed. But in the past 3-4 months I don't remember that this particular aircraft went for check.
330 of Windrose usually goes through minor checks everyday when parked overnight at Lahore.

An Airblue Airbus A321-200, registration UR-WRH performing flight PA-271 from Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) to Islamabad (Pakistan) with 230 passengers, landed on Islamabad's runway 12 but damaged the outer left main tyre. The aircraft rolled out safely and taxied to the apron.

Ground observers reported the aircraft came in right wing low, the right hand engine (V2533) appeared to have made ground contact on landing, too.
