That depends on what type of warhead its equipped with.
ICBM's are usually fitted with Nuclear warheads which cause massive destruction such as being able to level an entire city say the size of New York or Los Angeles in a single blast.
However that said ICBM's just as easily be fitted with non-nuclear warheads and these have several different levels of explosive yield.
To answer this simply. With a non-nuclear warhead: Big explosion.
With a nuclear warhead: Gigantic.

How fast do ICBMs fly?
The velocity of an ICBM depends on many things, including the type of missile, the target's distance from the launch site, and where the rocket is in it's flight profile. For your question, I will use the LGM-30G Minuteman 3 ICBM, the currently fielded American ICBM. The only available statistic that I can find relation to it's speed is the maximum speed, 15,000 mph. I assume that this is the absolute maximum speed attained by the missile, most likely at the peak of the vehicle's flight just after final stage separation.
When evidence from an explosion reaches the lab what is one of the first technologies used to analyze it?
One of the first technologies employed after an explosion is an Ion Mobility Spectrometer (IMS). This device can be used in a mobile lab to help determine the type of explosive that was used.
What is the worlds strongest bomb?
The world's strongest bomb is the Tsar Bomba (AN-602) or the King of Bombs. Tsar Bomba is also known as the King of Bombs. It is a thermonuclear-hydrogen bomb. It was tested in 1961 by the Russians. The original design of the Tsar Bomba was equivalent to 100,000,000 tonnes of TNT, but because there was some technical difficulties detonating 100,000,000 tonnes of TNT, so the design was scaled down to 57,000,000 tonnes of TNT. The explosion is so powerful that it can still give three degree burns from hundreds of kilometers away. The Tsar Bomba is so destructive that there is one and ever will be one of them in history and the world. The radius of the explosion of the Tsar Bomba is approximately 35 kilometers. The largest explosion ever in mankind. The explosion is so devastating that it barely touched the plane that released it. POWERFUL, EH?

If a nuclear-armed ICBM is destroyed mid-flight will the nuclear explosion take place?
Generally, no. The arming mechanism for the warhead is designed to arm only within reach of the target.
