Bitcoin miners mined an empty block at block height 960017 early this morning.

mempool data shows that 11 hours ago, Bitcoin miners mined an empty block at Bitcoin height 960017 (i.e., the block only contained a Coinbase transaction for the block reward). It is understood that miners pack empty blocks for economic reasons. In order to fully utilize this period for mining and avoid conflicts with transactions packed in the parent block, miners cannot fill the block with transactions, meaning miners can only try to mine empty blocks.
