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

"At 06:07:38.42 UT on 30 March 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 250330A (trigger 765007663/250330255).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 254.96, Dec = -66.02 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 16h 51m, -86d 52'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 6.9 degrees. This localization is consistent 
with Swift-BAT location (Cenko et al. 2025, GCN 39938) and Swift-XRT (Page et al. 2025, 39940).

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 46 degrees.
