GCN 43520)  with Very Large Array in C-band at the centre frequency of 6 GHz with a bandwidth of 4 GHz in two epochs on Jan 29th 2026 (3.3 days after the trigger) and Feb 19th 2026 (24.1 days after the trigger). \n\nWithin the EP/FXT localization (S.F Fu et al., GCN 43526), we detect two radio sources, however only one shows a significant rebrightening between the two epochs. We therefore propose that this source, located at RA, DEC(J2000) = 06:55:01.01, +37:42:18.68, is the radio counterpart of EP260126A. \n\nAt this position, Legacy Survey DR10 (Dey et al. 2019) images show a faint object (r~24 AB mag), which we suggest as the putative host galaxy of the EP transient. \n\nFurther observations are planned. \n\nWe thank the VLA staff for executing the observations. \n",
