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

"At 23:57:08.96 UT on 04 April 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 260404A (trigger 797039833/260404998).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 165.79, Dec = -48.56 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 11h 03m, -48d 33'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 18.12 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 113 degrees.
