That is the way of the modern world. Look at a simple case, boy stabs teacher in front of 30 witnesses and then confesses. Police carry out a though crime scene and case investigation in what is an open and shut case.
If the diagram shown by OleOle is correct it shows that it was an unlucky hit with the missile exploding too late and too far ahead from optimum.
Aside from the civil criminal investigation I believe many intelligence agencies and the missile manufacturer will also have an intense interest and not from humanitarian interests.
