I read they are pretty sure they hit the fuel tank on it because of the fireball it created. Within minutes of it been blasted..........observers in western canada were seeing debris from it burning up as it hit the earths atmosphere.
Apparently the missile had a camera on it and sent back images of the collision. I cant find them online. Maybe they wont be released.
From what i read a couple of days ago.....................we could be seeing pieces of this satellite burning up (fireballs) on re-entery into earths orbit for weeks to come as their orbits decay.
I thought it would be vapourized by the missile strike.
