The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB

"At 20:49:57.21 UT on 12 July 2023, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 230712B (trigger 710887802/230712868).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 351.15, Dec = -42.61 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 23h 24m, -42d 36'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 5.38 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 31 degrees.
