Debris don't need structural integrity, it's travelling around 10 times the speed of a bullet even with a small mass traveling at ~8 km/s anything it hits is fucked.

localized debris clouds

A low other orbit satellite travels around earth every 2 hours, any debris it generates will be similar, there is no such thing as a localized debris cloud.

Why would so much material be in just the right altitude to cause such a dramatic effect?
