Report on behalf of the SVOM team:

SVOM/GRM was triggered on-ground by GRB 250909B at 2025-09-09T17:49:10.200 UTC (T0), which is also detected by AstroSat (M. Tembhurnikar et al., GCN#41775) and Konus-Wind.

With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a multi-pulses with a T90 of 10.5 +3.5/-1.5 s in the 15-5000 keV band.

ECLAIRs was not collecting data at the time of this burst.
