Either by fire, solid impact or a shock wave that is too much for its structure to resist.

It depends somewhat on the type of bomb, but, very generally speaking, it is the rapidly expanding gas from a detonated bomb that destroys things.
That's pretty much all an explosive is - something that rapidly decomposes into a gas.
Some explosives, such as C4, create a fast-moving shockwave immediately upon detonation. Others, such as gunpowder, need to be confined, in, say, a sealed box, such that upon detonating the pressure builds up until the confinement bursts.

Shockwave through intervening medium (air, water, earth, shielding material, etc), frag (bomb case fragments, shrapnel), heat (flames, infrared radiation), and, in case of a nuclear explosion, ionizing radiation (x-rays, neutrons, fallout).
