Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration:\n\nAnalysis of AstroSat CZTI data with the CIFT framework (Sharma et al., 2021, JApA, 42, 73) showed the detection of a short GRB 230418A which was also detected by Fermi (O.J. Roberts, et al., GCN Circ. 33652), Swift/BAT-GUANO (S. Ronchini, et al., GCN Circ. 33653), and AGILE (G. Panebianco, et al., GCN Circ. 33656).\n\nThe source was clearly detected in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2023-04-18 21:11:33.56 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 2120 (+893, -443) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 155 (+52, -45) counts. The local mean background count rate was 488 (+18, -38) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 0.20 (+0.16, -0.06) s.\n\nThe source was also clearly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range.\n\nCZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, URSC, IUCAA, SAC, and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed, and facilitated the project.\n\nCZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at:\nhttp://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=grb",
