Hit its ammunition rack by the look of it. One crewman survived somehow and made it out of the bottom escape hatch..

Was that his skin hanging off or his clothes or both?I recon both I dont think you could walk or run away from that unharmed he only had about 2 seconds to get out he must have started as soon as the round hit you can see him jump out right as the 'blow torch" started he might have already been unde the tank at that point. Odd that the other T-72 nearest the camera facing the enemy is not even attempting to suppress the direction the enemy is clearly attacking from.

Here is another method you can see that they set off the ammo with this one as well.The T-72 was clearly designed with crew survivability in mind.
