D.Gotz (CEA Saclay) on behalf of the IBAS Localization Team reports:

the weak IBAS Alert nr. 7881 corresponds to a weak transient source lasting about 100 s, starting at 00:09:32 UT on July 30th 2017, localized at

R.A: 245.3407 deg
Dec: -60.8832 deg

with an unceratinty of 2.5 arc min (90% c.l.).

We prliminarly classify it as a GRB, but we cannot exclude that it is a new Galactic source due to its low Galactic latitude.

Futher analysis is on-going.
