MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) was pointed to the IceCube Alert 250406.95 (trigger No 31006975,05h 27m 14.40s , +16d 40m 08.4s, R=0.51) errorbox  1665 sec after notice time and 1717 sec after trigger time at 2025-04-06 23:19:12 UT, with upper limit up to  19.3 mag. Observations started at twilight.  The observations began at zenith distance = 57 deg. The sun  altitude  is -12.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -9 deg., longitude l = 189 deg.
