3. It may have failed because we shot it down

Was this the nuke that was supposed to hit the US?

4. N Korea does not have any ICBM's or warheads for them yet..

.....that can reach the continental USA.
Okinawa or Guam yes, maybe Hawaii.

They have had a few underground tests, that is far from having a survivable working warhead that is small enough to fit on top of a missile and can survive the launch, outer space and then heat of re-entry.

But they are certainly working on achieving that.

5. Good news, but one may wonder about the fate of those responsible for the failed launch.

It's North Korea after all.
