Information about satellite warfare incidents is tightly classified. Nonetheless, it is a bit of an open secret that these types of incidents (not necessarily lasers) have escalated markedly in recent years. The countries most affected by this tend to be those that are not traditional space powers but nonetheless have many space assets e.g. Western Europe.
You cannot hide satellites or debris from a satellite being destroyed. Everything close to Earth is large enough to be spotted from reflected light. Everything far away is spotted with radar. There are many private and government players across the globe who care deeply about what is occupying what orbits because it is a finite resource.
“tightly classified” … as is everything that would embarrass or expose the ever increasingly crooked and immoral people that have accumulated in the US government. Otherwise, the “citizens” may start realizing it’s basically all just lies, fraudulent, and fake; which is a bit of a problem for a multilevel Ponzi scheme.
