It is very difficult to do much with the picture you took.
I think that Tex can figure out the most likely cause if he can see some decent pictures.
You got one through already so can you try to get a few more?
Take one of the entire rifle so we can see what part or parts blew off.
Then take a close up of the area again.
If there is a bulge in the barrel, take a picture but make it cover enough of the rifle that we know where the bulge is located.
Did any of the cartridges in the magazine go off? If so and you can find pieces of them, try to put the pieces back together and take a picture of them.
Finally, a picture of any pieces or the rifle that you found.
From the one picture you took, it appears that the side of the receiver where the magazine is located is what blew off. Hard for me to understand with a bolt rifle unless you had a slam fire just before the bolt locked totally into battery.
