You can fire a laser from any target as long it is enough power and has a tracking mirror. If you are firing from space you need a larger mirror. White Sands Missile Range has the High Energy Laser Systems Test Facility.

They tagged the missile.

Keeping enough laser on it steadily to burn it up, despite intervening clouds and any reflective/refractory coating on the missile itself, is another thing.
