It was a explosion of the oxygen cylinder .
A damaged coil built inside the oxygen tank sparked inside the tank and caused the explosion
Loss of oxygen pressure in a tank in the service module.
Damaged insulation on the wires to the stirring fan inside oxygen tank 2 caused the wires to short circuit and ignite.
Apollo 13 had a normal takeoff then an Electrical fault caused an explosion in the oxygen tank. Then the mission to the moon was abandoned. Mission control had to work out how to get the space craft back on 12 amps and with limited oxygen.
The oxygen tank exploded two hours after takeoff. They could not fix it.

The oxygen tank of Apollo 13 exploded, just before they were to seperate.
Oxygen tank
An oxygen tank exploded in the spacecraft.
Oxygen tank 2 exploded and damaged oxygen tank1
It was actually considered a near disaster, and this was because wires were exposed in the oxygen tank, creating rising and falling oxygen pressure. A spark from a wire also caused a fire, ripping apart one tank and damaging the next.
oxygen tank
Spark from mixing.
