Report on behalf of the SVOM team:
SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by a hard short burst GRB 250627A (SVOM trigger reference: sb25062711) at 2025-06-27T16:46:23 UTC (T0).
With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a single pulse with a T90 of 0.9 +0.2/-0.4 s in the 15-5000 keV band.

In addition, ECLAIRs was collecting data at the time of this burst and also detected this burst in the energy range of above 50 keV, although this burst is outside ECLAIRs FOV.
The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center for Space Studies (CNES, France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. GRM is developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS.
