Is it true that Anti-satellite missiles have destroyed satellites in orbit, as in China's 2007 test and India's 2019 test?

Yes. Reference sources confirm China's January 2007 anti-satellite missile test destroyed the Fengyun-1C weather satellite in orbit, and one encyclopedia article also states India conducted the ASAT test Mission Shakti on 27 March 2019. Together these cover both examples named in the claim.
