Missile fuel
The second of Germany's Vengeance Weapons. The first Liquid Fuel Ballistic Missile to be used in war.
A missile has three major components. The propulsion system moves the missile and contains the fuel. The guidance system steers and guides the missile on its flight. Then there is the payload, typically an explosive.

The Atlas missile used RP-1 (kerosene) for its fuel and LOX (liquid oxygen) as the oxidizer. Early versions used a stage and a half design where the sustainer engine would keep firing after the main engines cut off and were jettisoned. For the upper stages, propellant depended on which upper stage it used. The RM-81 Agena upper stage, used the hypergolic propellants UDMH (unsymmetric dimethylhydrazine) as the fuel and IRFNA (inhibited red fuming nitric acid) as the oxidizer. In the case that Atlas used the Centaur upper stage, Centaur used LH2 (liquid hydrogen) as the fuel and LOX (liquid oxygen) as the oxidizer.
to propel the missile
The Redstone rocket was fueled by a mixture of 25% H20 and 75% ethanol, and used liquid oxygen as the oxidizer. Redstone carried 19,000 lbs of fuel and 25,000 of oxidizer. Steam to drive the fuel and oxidizer pumps was produced by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (790 lbs of this were carried by Redstone).
Surface-to-Air Missile. It's an anti-aircraft missile used by ground troops.

The warhead on a missile will blow up, at least on one so equiped. Also, there is a "destruct" charge aboard to knock the missile down if something untoward happens and controllers want to "stop" it. Oh, and the fuel may blow up in an accident of some kind.
Possibly but it would have to be a very very powerful laser and the missile would still have to be in the boost phase of flight with plenty of fuel and oxidizer in its tanks (which would be what actually exploded).
