report:

The very bright, long-duration GRB 250706C
(Konus-Wind detection: Frederiks et al., GCNs 41013, 41027;
Fermi-LAT detection: Longo et al., GCN 41019)
was detected by Konus-Wind and Mars-Odyssey (HEND)
at about 60322 s UT (16:45:22), ~1200 s before GRB 250706B
(SVOM detection: Palmerio et al, GCNs 40989, 41026)

We have triangulated it to a Konus-HEND annulus centered at
RA(2000)=342.841 deg (22h 51m 22s)  Dec(2000)=-8.288 deg (-8d 17' 19"),
whose radius is 63.671 +/- 0.024 deg (3 sigma).

This localization may be improved.

The SVOM/ECLAIRs source localization reported for GRB 250706B (GCN 40989)
is consistent with the Konus-HEND annulus, the Konus-Wind ecliptic latitude
response and the Fermi-LAT position (GCN 41019), indicating that GRB 250706B and 
GRB 250706C are distinct emission episodes of the same GRB.

The HEALPix triangulation map is the multi-order HEALPix in units of
probability density.
