“Missiles”?
I know it’s technically correct, but come on.
That’s quite common phrasing for UK newspapers.

I think they know “missile” sounds more ominous than “plastic bottle.”
Try https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/missile#Noun instead.
“plastic bottle.”
The protesters threw many by different types of objects. The word that is typically used for that category of objects is “missile”.
ACAB.
