Seems pretty black and white in this case:
Rocket is launched
First 40 seconds, tragectory (angle into air, direction of travel, etc) is towards Hawaii, to land in its vicinity.
We're not talking about taking them into a court of law, where you have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt. We're talking about the court of public opinion... of government opinion... of UN opinion.
The amount that has transpired is definitely enough for questions to be asked and answers demanded.
