on behalf of the AGILE Team:

The AGILE satellite detected the GRB 200619A reported by Insight-HXMT/HE
(Xiao et al., GCN #27985), occurring at T0 = 2020-06-19T02:36:11.60 +/-
0.01 s (UTC).

The event is visible in the scientific ratemeters (RMs) of the
Anti-Coincidence (AC, 80-200 keV) and Mini-Calorimeter (MCAL, 0.4-100 MeV)
detectors. Their light curves show a FRED profile, lasting ~15 s and
releasing ~54380 counts in the AC RMs and ~22675 counts in the MCAL RMs.
The ratemeters light curves can be found at

Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress.
