MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) was pointed to the GRB250725.08 33 sec after notice time and 53 sec after trigger time at 2025-07-25 01:52:29 UT. On our first (10s exposure) set we found 1 optical transient within Swift error-box (ra=35.3833 dec=-82.7836 r=0.05) brighter than 16.0.
