We observed from 2026-02-23 06:16:02 to 06:26:30 UTC (from 2.081 to 2.256 hours after the trigger) and obtained 3x60 s of simultaneous exposure in the grizy filters.\n\nThe data were reduced, coadded and analysed with the COLIBRÍ pipeline. The photometry was calibrated using nearby stars from the PanSTARRS DR2, is in the AB system, and is not corrected for Galactic extinction (A_V = 0.68, Schlafly et al. 2011).\n\nWe detected the optical counterpart reported by Becerra et al., GCN Circ. 43811, at preliminary magnitudes of:\n\ng = 19.44 +/- 0.06\nr = 18.92 +/- 0.04\ni =  18.52 +/- 0.05 \nz = 18.27 +/- 0.04\ny = 18.23 +/- 0.07\n\nFurther observations are ongoing.\n\nWe thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir and the COLIBRÍ and DDRAGO engineering teams.\n\nCOLIBRÍ is an astronomical observatory developed and operated jointly by France (AMU, CNES and CNRS) and Mexico (UNAM and SECIHTI). It is located at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, Mexico.\n\n",
