Looking at the photo, I will (in contradiction to my call for rampant speculation) say it looks like more of a tear than an explosion.

Well, they are saying "explosive decompression."

Explosive decompression does not mean an explosion triggered things. It means that a hole opened in the fuselage leading to a rapid release of the pressurized air inside. A balloon popping is an example of explosive decompression. The "explosive" part is the result, not necessarily the cause.

I read it as the explosive decompression was what happened when the panel ripped off.

Explosive decompression is also what happens after Burrito Night.

Most likely, something compromised the hull, explosive decompression caused some initial damage, then larger pieces ripped off due to flapping around at 600 mph.
