That website is in Washington DC and it's some sort of military-related site. It could be
CIA disinformation, or a CIA front. Whatever.
I read at the BBC this afternoon that the missile had a range of 6,000 miles. It can just
barely reach the edge of Alaska. The White House hasn't said anything about it being able
cover the entire USA.
On the other hand, if it's meant to lift a (small) satellite into orbit (as some have
suggested), then it has no limits. Once it is in orbit, it can come down anywhere. The idea
of N Korea with orbital capability is not good.
N Korea is in the corner again. Everyone, incl. China, has told them to knock it off.

Not quite. It apparently can reach most of the continental U.S.
