The base explosion radius is 22 units.[1]

Mechanics and Interactions
Minions must be alive with low life for the explosion to work. Anything that causes a minion to die without ever having low life will not cause an explosion.
Example - Minions can die from 1 hit taking all their life or die from running out of duration. Neither of these deaths will cause the minions to explode.
