All ICBMs are hypersonic (Mach 25 at re-entry). The current popular terminology pertains to re-entry vehicles that can assume aerodynamic trajectories after re-entry, for purposes of trajectory concealment.
If they are targeted, they are targeted also by interceptors that are hypersonic. At the speeds they are moving, it is a tricky game. We knew how to do this in the 1960s. Improved performance makes a hit-to-kill feasible (but I'm still up for a low-yield nuke).
