Yes it will. There are variables built into both the missile and missile defence code that can sometimes result in what was classed as a defeat of the attack turning into something more than that.......in a RL analogy from WW2 you may have shot down the Kamikaze in flames but it still hit the deck of the carrier. Or a board game / miniatures analogy you rolled a 10 for the missile defence then rolled snake-eyes or boxcars for the final result so even though technically you defeated the attack the missile still did damage but in this case enough damage to destroy the target vehicle.
