That is not a red flag because the missile had a cluster munitions warhead. That means a low yield explosive detonates at about 2000 meters altitude, this bursts open the warhead to release the 50 cluster bombs so they scatter over the target. The main missile body then lands somewhere nearby.
Your problem appears to be you fail to recognise unreliable sources. One thing both sides agree on is the missile was a soviet era SS-21 aka Tochka-U which has never been known as a precision weapon in fact it is notoriously innacurate.
