A. von Kienlin, X. Zhang, A. Rau, V. Savchenko, E. Bozzo, and C.
Ferrigno, on behalf of the INTEGRAL SPI-ACS GRB team, report:

The short-duration, hard, intense GRB 111113A has been observed by 
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Konus-Wind, MESSENGER (GRNS), and Swift (BAT) 
(outside the coded field of view) so far, at about 18618 s UT (05:10:18).
We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose 
coordinates are:
  ---------------------------------------------
   RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
  ---------------------------------------------
  Center:
   225.390 (15h 01m 34s)  +2.185 ( +2d 11' 05")
  Corners:
   224.649 (14h 58m 36s)  +1.899 ( +1d 53' 57")
   225.195 (15h 00m 47s)  +2.382 ( +2d 22' 56")
   226.104 (15h 04m 25s)  +2.430 ( +2d 25' 47")
   225.583 (15h 02m 20s)  +1.985 ( +1d 59' 05")
  ---------------------------------------------

The error box area is 1408 sq. arcmin, and its maximum dimension is 93 
arcmin.

This box can be improved.

The time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming GCN Circular.
