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

"At 17:48:07.46 UT on 12 January 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 240112E (trigger 726774492/240112742).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 217.7, Dec = -32.6 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 14h 31m, -32d 35'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 3.4 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 125 degrees.
