, AT2025adhf, and AT2025adhs obtained with the SOAR telescope on 2025-11-14 at 04:10:05 UTC (PI: Bommireddy). For each source, we obtained an exposure of approximately 900s. The spectra were preliminarily reduced and classified using the NGSF spectral classification software (Goldwasser et al. 2022). Based on the reported redshifts (GCN 42675), the top 3 template fits for each event are listed below.

We thank the SOAR staff for their support during these observations.
