Volnova (IKI) report on behalf of IKI-GRB-FuN:\n\nWe observed the field of GRB 260604C (The Fermi GBM team, GCN 44822; Neights & Meegan, GCN 44831; Gotz et al., GCN 44823) with the AZT-33IK 1.6-m telescope of the Sayan Solar Observatory (Mondy). The observations were conducted starting on 2026-06-07 16:34 UT, i.e. ~2.86 days since GRB. We aquired 30x120 sec exposures in the R-band using a CMOS-photometer.\n\nThe optical afterglow (Lipunov, GCN 44827; Konno et al., GCN 44828; GCN 44836; Zhu et al., GCN 44832; Becerra et al., GCN 44834; Hellot et al., GCN 44835; Konno et al., GCN 44836; Gompertz et al., GCNs 44837, 44843; Chen et al., GCN 44851; Moskvitin et al., GCN 44852; Sasaki et al., GCN 44857; Pankov et al., GCN 44858) is clearly detected in the co-add image and displays an evidence of a brightening in comparison with previous epochs of observations (Moskvitin et al., GCN 44852; Sasaki et al., GCN 44857; Pankov et al., GCN 44858). The observations details and preliminary photometry are summarized below:\n\nDate       UTstart  t-T0    Exp.   Filter Mag    Err.
