How did an ADVENT MEC target my soldiers with micro-missiles without knowledge of their location? - Soldier Holding Black Assault Rifle

I had two soldiers fully obscured from the MEC; they had no line of sight to the MEC and the MEC hadn't previously seen them. On it's first turn, the MEC fired a volley of micro missiles which hit two of my soldiers. As far as I can see, there are three possible explanations:

  • MECs can sense units without line-of-sight
  • MECs will sometimes 'grenade-spam' enemy positions, hoping for lucky hit
  • The AI is cheating

Which of these is the case?
