Data says that blowing up the moon would not reduce its mass, and the damage would be only spread further. While mostly true, it is also true that the mass would be reduced (albeit slightly); the explosion would move some of the mass out of the planet's gravity; and the total surface area would be massively increased, and so smaller moon chunks would burn up in the atmosphere harmlessly.
