China did something similar to Australia, except the airspace was international, and they also dropped ‘chaff’ (aluminium & debris) into the pathway of the Australian plane.
Calling it “debris” makes it sound dangerous. Chaff is very light because it’s designed to stay in the air as long as possible. Still shitty of them, but it’s not like they were trying to “accidentally” take down a plane.

Yeah and in the route of the plane, if the stuff gets sucked into an engine… it ain’t good.
