report:

The long-duration GRB 250118B
was detected by Konus-Wind, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Swift (BAT),
and Mars-Odyssey (HEND) at about 13107 s UT (03:38:27).
The burst was outside the coded field of view of the BAT.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box
whose coordinates are:
 ---------------------------------------------
  RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
 ---------------------------------------------
 Center:
  108.006 (07h 12m 01s) -29.557 (-29d 33' 25")
 Corners:
  114.190 (07h 36m 46s) -29.989 (-29d 59' 21")
  112.319 (07h 29m 17s) -30.334 (-30d 20' 03")
  101.717 (06h 46m 52s) -28.434 (-28d 26' 02")
  103.724 (06h 54m 54s) -28.453 (-28d 27' 11")
 ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 4.5 sq. deg, and its maximum
dimension is 11.0 deg (the minimum one is 28.7 arcmin).
The Sun distance was 128 deg.

This localization may be improved.

A triangulation map and HEALPix FITS file are posted at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB250118_T13107/IPN/
The HEALPix triangulation map is the multi-order HEALPix in units of
probability density.

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