Indeed, even if a missile strike is accidental in the sense of mistaken identity, it is misleading to call the situation a "plane accident" or "air traffic accident". It is a military accident.
Just like when a car is blown up by driving over a mine, we don't call that a "car accident" or "traffic accident".
