They contain an warhead that contains some sort of explosive charge which is detonated when the missile reaches the target.

Missiles can explode upon impact with a target due to the detonation of their warhead or payload. Explosives within the missile are usually triggered by a fuse or proximity sensor, resulting in a rapid release of energy that causes the explosion.
