A spaceship with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen will blow up quite well in the vacuum of space. Chemical explosives will also explode in space since they function by breaking weakly bonded chemical components; no oxygen is necessary. Nuclear explosions can of course occur in space, too.
The reason space debris burns up in our atmosphere is because such objects fly towards Earth at great speeds. As these objects pass through the atmosphere, atmospheric gasses compress very quickly. This generates great amounts of heat, burning the objects up as they fly through.
