Perhaps, for some reason, the incident was couldn't be publicized until now.
Also, in several of the space-related newsfeeds that I monitor, there have been a few items concerning orbital clutter and debris. Maybe this was meant to be added to the discussion.

Perhaps they are lobbying for funding for a debris mitigation program ?
