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

At 06:21:20 UT on 6 Jan 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240106B (trigger 726214885.929338 / 240106265).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 239.8, Dec = -22.5 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 15h 59m, -22d 30'), with a statistical uncertainty of 5.4 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 43.0 degrees.
