Comment (by ankitkumarshah):

 Hi @dvpatel,
 I also tried to reproduce the issue, but as mentioned by @sabernhardt, I
 was unable to find any empty `ul` tag instead, I got the following:

 {{{
 <ul class="community-events-results activity-block last" aria-
 hidden="false">
   <li class="event-none">
     There are no events scheduled near None at the moment. Would you like
 to <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/meetup-
 organizer/welcome/">organize a WordPress event</a>?
   </li>
 </ul>
 }}}
