There is some speculation about laser ASAT capabilities but nothing confirmed in the open source literature. So far as I know, all of the ASAT tests with missiles (vs. just ramming one spacecraft into another) have been ground-based.

If you count Hayabusa I and II, there have been instances of firing projectiles from one space object to another.
