ICBMs are reasonably accurate - a couple dozen meters - but there are far, far better options.
There are already plenty of airborne/seaborne cruise missiles and guided bombs in the region, with nearly pinpoint accuracy and much faster time-on-target. Much cheaper and less likely to start a nuclear war with Russia, too.
I don't think anyone knows the accuracy of this particular missile because no one seems to know whose missile it was.
