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 GRB250725.08 26 sec after notice time and 45 sec after trigger time at 2025-07-25 01:52:22 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 17.7.

The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 17.7mag
The automatical light curve is the very fast fall F ~ t^-2
This very similar to short GRB behavior.
The large optical telescope observation is very welcome!
