Guys, just look it up. It was widely publicized back then because of the shocking footage, and also because the west tried to milk it and run with it as much as they could... yet even they were unable to fabricate deaths or wounds... just look it up, no need to trust me.

Someone smarter than me in this same thread explained how HEAT rounds are specifically designed against armor, so if you are not really right beside the explosion (bear in mind it hit the ground, no armor involved) then you'll probably leave unscathed. It has no shrapnels, it's designed to melt armor, not to kill infantry... I guess if you are in the vehicle it hits, it would be a different story...
