Narrative:
While being vectored for approach to xxl we were IMC and flying through a rain shower. I heard a thump and felt a shudder and then a funny smell was detected. The foul smell continued and we received a call from the cabin reporting smoke. We asked for priority landing on xxl. Our jumpseater ([company] B777 first officer) took care of communications between the flight attendants and passengers. The captain continued flying the aircraft and I handled the relay of information to ATC and assisted the captain with his approach. Once we broke out we requested clearance for the visual and proceeded with approach. It was reported by the cabin that we sustained damage to an engine and leading edge devices and the captain reported vibrations on the number 1 engine when thrust was applied. The landing was made and we made a decision to taxi off the runway and stop to have both engines inspected for fire/damage. It had been reported that there was a fire coming out of the left tail pipe. The fire department reported no fire and damage to the number 2 engine. We then taxied to the gate and parked without further incident.
