Was Hawaii A Target?

According to a Reuters report on Yahoo news Asia, the long range missile launched by North Korea on Wednesday was aimed close to Hawaii. It states in the article that "data from U.S. and Japanese Aegis radar-equipped destroyers and surveillance aircraft on the missile's angle of take-off and altitude indicated that it was heading for waters near Hawaii."

The question is did they actually target the area to prove to the US that they can reach and harm us? Remember, Hawaii is home to the headquarters of the U.S. Pacific fleet. And, if that is their plan, what should our response be?
