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 Swift GRB250725.08 (trigger No 1336720,02h 21m 32.40s , -82d 47m 02.4s, R=0.05) errorbox  23 sec after notice time and 45 sec after trigger time at 2025-07-25 01:52:22 UT, with upper limit up to  18.3 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 64 deg. The sun  altitude  is -50.5 deg. 

MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) was pointed to the Swift GRB250725.08 errorbox  30 sec after notice time and 53 sec after trigger time at 2025-07-25 01:52:29 UT, with upper limit up to  17.0 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 53 deg. The sun  altitude  is -46.5 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -34 deg., longitude l = 300 deg.
