According to the report, they didn't "blow up" anything to hit the satellite; it was just an impact missile. Hopefully it was in a non-orbital trajectory.
If the pieces are small enough, they'll just burn up. But since they weren't sure if they'd manage to rupture the tank, that may not be a certain conclusion.
