Tempesta (TeleSpazio), report on behalf of the AGILE Team:

The AGILE Mini-CALorimeter (MCAL) detected a burst at T0 = 2023-01-04
06:03:15.00 +/- 0.01 s (UTC). The event lasted about 1.10 s and released a
total number of 2073 counts in the MCAL detector (in the 0.4-100 MeV energy
range), above an average background rate of 594 Hz. The MCAL light curve
can be found at

.

The burst is also visible in the AGILE scientific ratemeters of the
MiniCALorimeter (MCAL; 0.4-100 MeV), and AntiCoincidence (AC; 50-200 keV)
detectors, where it released a total number of 6525 counts in the MCAL
detector (above a background rate of 1200 Hz), and 13285 counts in the AC
detector (above a background rate of 3215 Hz). The AGILE ratemeters light
curves can be found at

Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress. Automatic MCAL GRB alert
