It looks like an old Soviet era SS-21 (tochka-u) that probably had a 9N123K cluster munition warhead. The 9N123K warhead uses a low yeild explosive to airburst at about 2000 meters so the payload of 50 cluster munitions are spread out as they impact over the target area. That would be why the missile body lands nearby, mostly intact.

Having said that even the force of the explosion of a conventional HE warhead could also throw it's missile body away from the impact location so it would land nearby but I think you would probably expect to see more damage to it.
