The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB
"At 15:58:56.61 UT on 09 October 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 251009A (trigger 781718341/251009666).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 72.05, Dec = -25.84 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 4h 48m, -25d 50'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 25.22 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 86 degrees.
