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

"At 07:23:46.16 UT on 28 February 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 250228A (trigger 762420231/250228308).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 94.90, Dec = -46.81 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 6h 19m, -46d 48'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 11.91 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 27 degrees.
