According to Wikipedia, the Pantsir shoots small missiles with radar or optical guidance. No idea why it missed.

I watch this one history yt channel that goes through the moment to moment details of various battles. One thing I learned from that is that things just go wrong all the time in wars. Missiles fail to launch, radars malfunction or aren't properly calibrated, a manufacturing defect turns a potent weapon into a dud, etc.

Yes SAMs miss, even the 90% hit rate RIM-116 (?) Miss at times, hence you shoot two missiles if you want a target dead
