Most military satellites are in LEO (low-earth orbit) and can be
destroyed with ground missiles.

One problem though is the creation of many thousands of pieces of
debris. These clouds of debris could cause a chain reaction of
satellite destruction and end up destroying all the satellites in LEO,
not just enemy satellites.  People do worry about LEO becoming
unusable.
