The Fermi GBM team report the detection of a likely SHORT GRB:

"At 17:29:07.68 UT on 19 January 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240119A (trigger 727378152/240119729).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 152.7, Dec = -83.6 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 10h 10m, 83d 36'), with a statistical uncertainty of 5.1 degrees.
 
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 153.0 degrees.
