Missiles with intercontinental range, such as ICBMs, can reach major US cities across the country, including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.

The exact range depends on the missile type and the launch location, but generally, most major urban centers are within the strike range of various missile systems.

The presence of Soviet Missiles on Cuba was a problem at the time because Cuba is only a few hundred miles from the US Coast, easily within reach.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, U.S. cities that were not within range of Cuban missiles primarily included those on the West Coast, such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, as well as cities further inland like Denver and Salt Lake City. The range of the Soviet-installed missiles in Cuba was primarily effective against targets in the Eastern United States, particularly cities like Washington, D.C., and New York City. Cities on the West Coast were beyond the effective strike range of those missiles at that time.
