Flares and chaff are often launched at the same time. The flares should attract ir guided munitions and the chaff should attract radar guided munitions.
Also,
aren’t those radar guided missiles?
Personally, I can’t read the serial number on it from that video, so I can’t really say.
But why flares, aren’t those radar guided missiles? Or perhaps they switch to IR once close to target or they have combined guidance?

Got it. However they could have active radar signal from rocket detected, but yeah, it’s best to release flares as well.
Yeah they would have been releasing chaff and flares, you just can’t see the chaff in the dark
