I have found references to this image that suggest the tank was hit by an RPG 29 HEAT round
The RPG-29 "Vampir" is a Russian rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher. Adopted by the Soviet Army in 1989,[6] it was the last RPG to be adopted by the Soviet military before the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. The RPG-29 has since been supplemented by other rocket-propelled systems, such as the RPG-30 and RPG-32. The RPG-29's PG-29V tandem-chargewarhead is one of the few anti-tank weapons that can reportedly penetrate the frontal hulls of Western composite-armored main battle tanks
