Yang-Zhao Ren, Chen-Wei Wang, Shao-Lin Xiong (IHEP) report on behalf of GECAM team:

GECAM-B was triggered on-ground by GRB 251203A, at 2025-12-03T08:18:45.150 UTC (denoted as T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #42968), and SVOM/GRM (Ren et al., GCN #42995). 

According to the GECAM-B light curves in about 70-6000 keV, this burst mainly consists of multiple pulses with a duration (T90) of 14 +1/-3 s.
