No. Apollo 13 was a mission by the American space program, NASA, (National Aeronautics and Space Administration.) The mission, however was a disaster, almost killing 3 brave astronauts by the burst of oxygen tank number 2.
The oxygen tank exploded two hours after takeoff. They could not fix it.
oxygen tank
The oxygen tank on Apollo 13 exploded due to damaged wiring inside the tank, which caused a short circuit when the tank was stirred. This led to a fire and subsequent explosion that severely damaged the spacecraft.
The master alarm in Apollo 13 was triggered by the high oxygen tank pressure caused by a damaged Teflon insulation on the wires inside the tank. This led to a series of malfunctions and a subsequent explosion in the oxygen tank.

The explosion on the Apollo 13 mission was caused by a chain of events that started with a damaged coil inside the liquid oxygen tank. This damaged coil led to a short circuit, igniting the highly pressurized and volatile oxygen inside the tank, resulting in the explosion.
Yes the Apollo 13 spacecraft did explode as a oxygen cylinder exploded.
