You don't consider an artillery rocket to be a missile?

I believe a missile has guidance, where a rocket is more of a pure ballistic trajectory weapon aimed at a general area.

Rockets and missiles are different animals.

Typically rockets are unguided following a ballistic trajectory. Missiles have some type of post launch guidance.
