How does a satellite break up in orbit? Was it struck by something?

The satellite here was using the same Boeing bus: https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/04/new-video-of-intelsa...

So something similar might have happened here.

Waiting for a leak of emails where engineers expressed concerns on the design/elements and management approved anyways.
