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

"At 21:19:46.26 UT on 08 November 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 251108A (trigger 784329591/251108889).
This trigger was initially classified as GRB by the flight software.

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 144.63, Dec = 8.03 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 9h 39m, +8d 2'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 3.23 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 10 degrees.
