Around 3 AM today, July 17, there was an explosion and damage to the Crimean bridge, resulting in the death of 2 adults and severe injury to their 14 year old daughter that were traveling across the bridge. US reconnaissance drones were present over the Black Sea at the time of the attack on the bridge, which was carried out by underwater drones belonging to Ukraine.

Wonder where they got the drones and who offered guidance to them.....

I guess, depending on your take on events involving Ukraine, this would fall under the heading of bad events for July 17.
