The pilots probably should have ignored that. There’s no such thing as “denying landing clearance” to an aircraft experiencing an emergency. There’s only “get out of the way of the incoming emergency.” But I can’t blame them for not wanting to take their chances when they were just shot by local air defense.

Do you really wanna push your luck with the people who just shot at you while also handing over all physical evidince to them?

"Yah, ATC is saying to leave-- but instead let's say 'unable' and shoot an approach at same airport where we just got shot at."

There’s also “accidentally shoot another missile at the threat that wasn’t shot down last time” phenomenon
