Yes. More than 5800 miles more than 1000 miles.

Is there anything that we know about which could shoot it down or track where it is going?

Tracking is easy. They've been tracking ICBMs since ICBMs were a thing. Flying higher than the International Space Station and at Mach 20+ makes them incredibly easy to track.
Shooting down, not as much. There are systems that can (AEGIS SM-3, GMD, etc), but they can only handle a handful before they're overwhelmed.
Directed energy weapons will make it easier, but they don't exist yet
