Dark event changes?

[raydeft]

I had sent a squad to counter a dark event (the one where aliens get a bonus HP), the timer was quite long (14 days). Given that this was in June I decided that it was worth countering this dark event and sent a squad.

The timer crosses month end (i.e. I got supplies), and 3 new dark events show up.

A few days later I get a notice that the original dark event has processed, i.e. even though my troops were on a mission to prevent it, it still happened. When I look at the infiltrating squad, the dark event it is now going to prevent is one of the 3 new events that showed up at month end?

Is this intended behaviour? I was a bit bleak that I had sent a squad to prevent a dark event from occurring and now it has occurred and my squad is preventing something else entirely. (in this case a breakthrough on the avatar project which really would not have bugged me enough to send a squad out in the first place)
