Question: What happens to the debris generated? Is there debris generated or the satellite is just "disabled" and falls down?

Space debris is a serious future problem, that should not be ignored.

From Indian Express:

The test was done in the lower atmosphere to ensure that there is no space debris. Whatever debris that is generated will decay and fall back onto the earth within weeks

Of course we can never know, but the fact that they discussed about it hopefully says something
