Even the WWII V2 had a terminal velocity of 1,790 mph. According to one expert's opinion on the Hwasong-12, "In the simulation ... the velocity during the re-entry peaks at 5.4 km/s. [nearly Mach 16] ... The velocity is a lot higher than the peak velocity reached by the Musudan, however, and is closer to ICBM velocities." I couldn't find an estimate of the terminal velocity, but surely it is much higher than that of a V2.
