This is because, the large energy carried by the shock wave forces the glass window panes to vibrate violently. As a result of these vibrations, the glass window panes may break.

It is due to Sonic Booms.
Sonic booms are nothing but are sound waves that produce a lot of noise.
It is the sound that is associated with a shock wave which is created when an object travels in the air faster than the sound speed.
Sonic booms make large amounts of sound energy.
They sound very similar to a thunderclap or an explosion to the human ear.
Due to the massive vibrations that they produce, windowpanes may break off.
