Having an engine explode in that way would be highly unusual. Modern jet engines are extremely reliable when cared for properly (and typically have safe failure modes - go check out the “bird ingestion” tests on YouTube).
I’m not an expert, but I would definitely agree at minimum some form of tampering & likely an explosive was involved.

I think sabotage pretty much covers the “when cared for properly/failsafe” thing, though.

Oh I didn’t mean sabotage as in “I didn’t QA the abradable shroud installation correctly, oops.”
I meant like “Nice, this fat brick of C-4 fits perfectly next to the generator compartment.”

Nice! One of life’s greatest pleasures.
Oh, of course it wasn’t an accident
