Didn’t China already do that to one of our other satellites ..?? Or .. at least it was thought China did it, but I don’t think we ever proved it .. or if we did, it was never made public.

They blasted one of their own weather satellites with a kinetic kill vehicle in 2007.

2007 Chinese anti-satellite missile test.

It left behind a huge debris cloud threatening other satellites and, at one point, came close to the Space Station. The Russians claim the space junk destroyed a small Russian satellite in 2013.
