      It looks like the missile was intercepted, but the debris still caused significant damage. It fell straight down.

          I believe he is correct. You see one puff of an interceptor missing to the right, but look back up the trail of the one that hit, there is another puff on it sooner.

          It also does not look like a detonation to me. More like what happens when a 500kg chunk hits the ground at Mach 2ish.

          You can literally see the explosion in the sky, and then the thing falling straight down.

            I think it looks more like the ignition of a 2nd stage motor, since it picks up speed, but I’m no rocket surgeon.
