Good shooting
Seems the satellite that imperiled someone somewhere got hit by the Navy on the first try. The SM-3 missile fired at the satellite didn't carry a warhead, but the 17,000 mph impact is expected to have broken up the satellite enough that reentry will burn it, and the toxic hydrazine on board, before it hits the ground.
