Take off run was aborted because the right engine stalled. Ice had broken away from the upper surface of the wings and went to the engines.

The ice layer in the wing root had not been observed during the A-check. Some of the ice broke away during take-off run and went to the engines causing stalling of the right engine and damages to the first stages of both engines.
