Original Note:
Most ballistic missiles are hypersonic (> Mach 5), but usually arent't referred to as such. Hypersonic can be ballistic, but usually refers to steering at said speed with aerodynamic lift. That doesn't seem to be the case here, nor an air-breathing missile which isn't ballistic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_weapon
