Probably not actually ICBM:

"Two U.S. officials also told CBS News that Russia had fired a ballistic missile, not an ICBM on Thursday, with one saying it appeared to have been an intermediate range ballistic missile launched from just east of Volgograd, Russia, to target Dnipro. If accurate, that would be a flight path of about 500 miles."

You're right. That's a minor nitpick though. The only major difference is the range. They're functionally similar, and they both typically deliver nuclear warheads.

I would have put IRBM in the title, but I wanted to keep the title from TFA (or TFV in this case I guess).
