This animation explains the missile intercept process in precise manner:
I don't think any confusion should remain after watching it.
An example of successful intercept of a long-range missile in 2014 with GMD based EKV:
EKV testing in laboratory setting:
Still animations:
The EKV seeks out its target using multi-color sensors, a cutting-edge onboard computer and a rocket motor that helps it steer in space. It hones in on the target and, with pinpoint precision, destroys it using nothing more than the force of a massive collision. No traditional warhead is necessary.
