Report on behalf of the SVOM team:

SVOM/GRM was triggered in-flight by a short burst GRB 260424B (SVOM trigger reference: sb26042404) at 2026-04-24T23:37:25.500 UTC (T0), which is also detected by Konus-Wind. 

With the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, the GRM light curve shows that this burst consists of a weak soft precursor followed by main emission with a T90 of 1.4 +0.6/-0.5 s in the 15-5000 keV band.

The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA, China), National Center for Space Studies (CNES, France) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS, China), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. GRM is developed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of CAS.
