But difference in orbital inclination makes the risk still smaller, ryt?

Correct. I'm not sure about the exact inclination of the destroyed satellite (most likely ~90 deg since it was a weather satellite) but it's extremely unlikely to be in such an inclination as to make the risk greater than effectively 0%.

The inclination was 96.6 degrees. It was not a weather satellite (the Chinese ASAT took out a weather sat. Microsat-R seems likely to have been a dedicated target satellite)

Misleading headline in Ars Technica, my bad! Still not wrong about the inclination, though

But having a different inclination doesn't save you. The orbits intersect - in particular, objects in the Microsat-R orbit but with slightly increased apogee will potentially intersect the ISS orbit at high speed

It doesn't "save", it reduces the risk to the points of intersection. The chance of a high energy piece of debris to cross the intersection at the exact same time as the ISS is effectively 0.

I disagree.

Whatever the inclination, if the altitudes match,that means they come in a plane. So, there are chances for hitting.
