Missile in flight can be destroyed by weapons. Some fighters with V Crushers may damage themself by launching missile and immediately detonating it with own or other weapons fire. Skunk missiles may detonate near skunk Skunk if launched while under enemy fire.

Interesting thing is that missiles can't damage cargo containers (not crates!) and asteroids.

Note that even homing missiles will often miss their target repeatedly, when fired against a skilled pilot, due to extreme fighter maneuverability and their ability to boost.
