Not sure what the range on the missile is, but the news says it is "possible" for it to reach "US Soil". That likely means Hawaii or Alaska, otherwise they would have said "likely to reach mainland US".
Edit:
Range of missile off of Google:
The Taep'o-dong-2 (TD-2) is said to be a two or three stage missile with a range estimated at approximately 3,650-3,750 km with a 700-1,000 kg payload. Other sources credit the TD-2/NKSL-X-2** with a range in excess of 4,000-4,300 km. North Korea has given various names to the Taep'o-dong missile, such as No-dong-3, Hwasong (Mars)-2 and Moksong (Jupiter)-2.
I also saw a news article which said they suspect the new missile might have a range of up to 10,000 km.
Anyone know the distance from N Korea to mainland US?
