N. Pankov (HSE, IKI), A. Pozanenko (IKI), R. Ya. Inasaridze (AbAO), S. Belkin (IKI) report on behalf of IKI GRB FuN:

We observed the field of  Fermi LAt localization of GRB 240118A (Bissaldi, GCN 35560Not found
 
 
)  and detected also Fermi GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN 35558Not found
 
 
; Hamburg, GCN 35563Not found
 
 
), NuSTAR (Grefenstette, GCN 35564Not found
 
 
), Swift BAT (DeLaunay, GCN 35568Not found
 
 
), and Konus-Wind (Frederiks, GCN 35567Not found
 
 
)  with AS-32 telescope of Abastumani observatory (AbAO) in R-filter starting on  2024-01-18 (UT) 16:47:55. No optical candidate is detected in the LAT localization area (Bissaldi, GCN 35560Not found
 
 
). Preliminary photometry of the filed is following
