The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB

At 14:46:27 UT on 12 Oct 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 251012A (trigger 781973192.204998 / 251012616).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 291.6, Dec = 7.5 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 19h 26m, 7d 30'), with a statistical uncertainty of 9.9 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 59.0 degrees.
