Dark Events are activities undertaken by the ADVENT administration to counteract XCOM operations. They will usually undertake 3 per month(2 at the start of the game) and you will have the option of preventing one of them with a Guerilla Operation.
One Dark Event is usually 'hidden;' you can counter(or deal with it) blind, or spend a small amount of Intel to reveal what the aliens are doing against you.
Dark Events are worked on in sequence, though not necessarily the sequence presented in the game. As such, it is possible to sometimes prevent more than one of the listed projects based on how you tackle them.
Most Dark Events last for a month, although some have instant effects once completed.
