The extremely bright, long-duration GRB 221009A
(Swift-BAT detection of Swift J1913.1+1946:
Dichiara et al., GCN Circ. 32632; Kennea and Williams, GCN Circ. 32635;
Fermi-GBM detection: Veres et al., GCN Circ. 32636;
Fermi-LAT detection: Bissaldi et al., GCN Circ. 32636)
has been detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 687014224),
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), and Konus-Wind, so far,
at about 47820 s UT (13:17:00).
We have triangulated it to a Konus-GBN annulus centered at
RA(2000)=1.444 deg (00h 05m 47s) Dec(2000)=+3.590 deg (+3d 35' 25")
whose radius is 73.473 +/- 4.089 deg (3 sigma).
This localization may be improved.
The IPN localization is consistent with, but reduces the area of, the
Fermi-GBM one (glg_healpix_all_bn221009553_v01).
The IPN localization is consistent with Swift-BAT (GCN 32632) and
Fermi-LAT (GCN 32636) position of Swift J1913.1+1946, supporting that
Swift J1913.1+1946 is the afterglow of GRB 221009A.

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