While I agree with you about it being bad news, my guess is that this is to prevent worse news which is being hidden.
Considering the risks, and the international political fallout, my guess is that this was either A) going to hit populated areas and make a really big boom, or B) was going to land in "enemy territory" and there are things in the satellite we don't want people to see.
