Someone has come up with an effective anti-satellite device, it appears.

There is another satellite in the upper right corner, a killer sat, perhaps? Not difficult to draw a line between it and the origin of the debris cone. The simplest killer satellite is just a proximity blast near the target or a kamikaze ramming it. I haven't kept up to know if anyone has a platform with a reusable projectile.

You’d notice the launch of a rocket big enough to carry a payload to reach that orbit, and something in orbit already making a burn to get up there would probably be noted too. Probably just a particle strike. That’s a crap area to fill with debris though...
