The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB

"At 11:12:40.13 UT on 16 October 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 241016B (trigger 750769965/241016467).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 8.8, Dec = 3.1 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 00h 35m, +03d 08'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 21 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 86 degrees.
