It is an interesting development, if not unexpected, and it's maybe a bit concerning.
They make a big point that it was still over US teritory when they shot it down, but just how high up does a nations sovereignty go?
Are the US now going to decide that they have the right to shoot down any satellites that are in orbit above, or simply passing over, US teritory?
There is the Outer Space Treaty of course which is still regularly updated: https://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/spacelaw/treaties/introouterspacetreaty.html
but that treaty is already ignored when it suits a nations purpose to do so.
