on behalf of the Fermi GBM team, report:
The short-duration, extremely bright GRB 181222B (Veres, GCN 23551)
was detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 567202302) and Konus-Wind
at about 72697 s UT (20:11:37).
We have triangulated it to a Konus-GBM annulus centered at
RA(2000)=294.324 deg (19h 37m 18s) Dec(2000)=-23.694 deg (-23d 41' 39"),
whose radius is 51.089 +/- 0.097 deg (3 sigma). The annulus reduces the
area of the 3 sigma Fermi-GBM final position by about a factor of 130.
This annulus may be improved.

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