Can exploding ammo crates cause damage

battlefield-3

It was suggested to me by a friend that I shouldn't put an ammo crate down next to my mortar as it would cause damage if it was destroyed by enemy fire. Personally, I doubt that destroying one of these crates actually causes damage, but I honestly don't know for certain. I know that they can, in fact, be destroyed by enemy damage, which causes them to "explode" (for lack of a better term). When this happens, do they cause any amount of damage?

I was reading bf3blog.com and official DICE press releases for like half a year, as well as battlefield.wikia.com and some twitter feeds of their devs, plus I spent approximately 100 hours in multiplayer, and I have never seen/heard about ammo boxes causing any damage to anything.

I would post this as a comment, but sorry, not "mature" enough.
