Pozanenko (IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 161224A  (Swift trigger=728268, 
Cholden-Brownet al., GCN 20333) with Zeiss-1000 (East) 1-m telescope of 
Tien Shan Astronomical Observatory. We obtained several images in R 
filter starting on Dec. 25 (UT) 00:13:31 and Dec. 25 (UT) 23:45:12. We 
do not detect any evident variable source in the BAT ground-calculated 
position (Ukwatta  al., GCN 20337). Within enhanced XRT position 
(Cholden-Brownet al., GCN 20338) we not detected any source. Preliminary 
photometry of the field is following
